01 The challenge

Fáilte Ireland’s Web Accessibility Grant Scheme requires WCAG 2.2 AA across the whole domain, verified by a third party.

Brand gold on cream failed contrast on every page. Galleries, tour cards and the header logo had no accessible names.

Overlay plugins are banned under the scheme, so the fixes had to be real.

02 What we did

01

Audit

Automated scans (axe, WAVE) on every template, then manual keyboard and screen reader passes, logged in the scheme’s report format.
02

Remediation

Compliant golds for text, accessible names on every link and image, a skip link and landmarks, keyboard friendly itineraries and galleries, and a multi day tour template with an accessible accordion.
03

Statement and sign off

A dated accessibility statement, agreed third party exclusions, and a report the auditor accepted as is.

In action

03 The impact

Zero violations across all 12 page templates on desktop and mobile, confirmed by the scheme’s independent rescan. The grant was drawn down and the site looks the same to visitors, only now everyone can use it.

Pages audited by hand

No overlays, no shortcuts. We fixed the real code on every template, and it changed how we build accessible tour sites from the start.
