Madison Solutions specialise in websites for councils.

For a decade we have been working with different councils on their websites and other digital projects.

We believe our key to success has been our flexibility, we appreciate that council projects can get delayed and then need to be picked back up at very short notice. Our team is large enough to be able to shift priorities to match your needs.

Our team has nearly 100 years of experience between them. The experience we have gained gives us some insights and knowledge which can be garnered from a “quick off-the-shelf” solution. Accessibility requirements are key point to any public sector website, there are two key accessibility requirements for public sector websites:

1. Meet the WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standard,
2. Publish an accessibility statement that explains how accessible your website is.

Meeting the WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards is only achievable when the website’s code is well written and structured correctly; allowing for the users to skip directly to the content with their keyword as well as navigating the entire site with just a keyboard without the need for a mouse. In addition to this, images need to be appropriately labelled with “alt” text to allow both search engines to read what the image is about, helping your SEO scores, but also allowing screen readers to describe an image to a user who cannot see the image. There are any many online tools which help us test the objective, measurable targets – We use these regularly for our website builds. We firmly believe that your users are the best test, even if the automated tools tell us we have passed the tests, sometimes our users have valuable feedback which help us to make the website better.

When it comes to writing your accessibility statement, we can help you with this as well.

Testimonials

Don’t take our word for it, here’s some fantastic feedback from a few of our council clients.

“Seaford Town Council built a new website with Madison back in 2019. Madison understood our needs and what required features we needed as a local authority and very efficiently provided us with an easy-to-use website for the public and for us as admin. Madison provided us with good training and are always there to respond to any queries we have about our website’s features, suggestions, or any new features we want to try.”

“Madison have been looking after Peacehaven Town Council’s website since 2017, as well as other digital support functions including circulating the monthly eNews. Madison supported the Town Council in a website redesign throughout 2022/23, and provided advice, support, guidance, and training in using the back-end of the new website to ensure that it was suited to our needs.”
