The hagis.scot website is run by the HAGIS team based at the University of Stirling. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website, regardless of circumstance and ability.

How we test this website

We currently use Wix Accessibility Automated Wizard which scans our website and provides actionable solutions to improve accessibility on our site. Automated Wizard tests against the W3C WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines using the automated tool. Automated Wizard can't find everything that could be improved, but is rarely wrong about what it does find. The reports generated by Wix Automated Wizard are reviewed by the HAGIS team, with any actions taken and prioritised into our future work.
