A public, chronological record of accessibility audits, test results, and remediation actions taken on bim.ie. Updated automatically as new assessments are completed. Most recent entry: .
Full site relaunched. Combined automated sweep (axe-core CI, pa11y, Lighthouse) and manual screen-reader review (VoiceOver on macOS, NVDA on Windows). Overall status: partially compliant — all critical issues resolved; legacy PDF remediation in progress.
Automated pa11y scan across all key page templates returned zero errors. Twelve warnings logged — all assessed as within acceptable tolerance (cosmetic or disproportionate-burden items). No further blocking issues found.
An independent CREST-accredited / IAAP-WAS audit has been booked with [auditor] for post-launch verification. Results will be published in this log once received.
A "Skip to main content" link was added to the global layout. Full keyboard focus-order traversal was verified end-to-end on the Funding Finder flow — no focus traps or illogical tab sequences detected.
Lighthouse mobile accessibility audit reached 100/100 on the home page, Funding Finder, and key content templates. Score established as the minimum CI gate — any regression below 95 will block deployment.
All foreground/background colour combinations verified at WCAG AA (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and UI components). The Editorial theme rust accent required adjustment after initial testing; retested and confirmed compliant.
All form fields (Funding Finder, contact forms) confirmed to have programmatic labels. Error messages tested for correct aria-live announcement using NVDA on Chrome and Edge. Focus moves to the first error on failed submission — confirmed working.
Initial accessibility baseline committed: HTML lang attribute set, semantic landmark regions (header, main, nav, footer) in place, heading-order linter integrated into the build pipeline, and axe-core CI check added as a required status check on every pull request.

Automated tool results (axe-core, pa11y, Lighthouse) are recorded in our CI pipeline. Summary results are published here; granular reports are available on request by contacting our accessibility team.
