Methodology

A compliance checkbox isn't a usable service

Meeting an accessibility standard on paper doesn’t mean citizens can finish the task. We evaluate the real service journey, find where people drop, and hand back a prioritized roadmap, not just an audit.

Standard accessibility audit

  • Checks against a compliance checklist
  • Passes on paper while tasks still fail
  • Looks at pages, not the end-to-end journey
  • Produces findings with no priority order

Intellimark Digital Government

  • Evaluates usability across the real service journey
  • Finds the friction points where citizens drop off
  • Assesses accessibility and digital-inclusion barriers
  • Delivers a prioritized, executive-ready roadmap

Verified against established practice and research: W3C WAI, accessibility, usability, and inclusion · GOV.UK Service Manual, user research improves service design
