Client success stories

When Inland Revenue redeveloped its user experience, the team wanted to ensure the site worked for everyone. In consultation with Catalyst's user experience (UX) and accessibility teams, they conducted both a UX audit and an accessibility audit to WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

We're proud to have supported their work with a comprehensive accessibility audit. This created a strong foundation for future development that integrated accessibility into their development workflows. Each component now meets both accessibility standards and best practices.
