Verifiable accessibility
Design and code to UNE-EN 301549 and WCAG 2.1 AA, an audit report and an accessibility statement with its feedback and complaints channel.
A local authority does not choose its users. Its website has to work for a ninety-year-old resident on a screen reader, for someone on an old phone and for an official from another administration looking up a bylaw. That is why the law sets accessibility requirements that are not optional. At the same time, the site is run by staff with plenty of other duties and no time to learn complicated tools. Take a town of 8,000 people with one person handling communications: the site must meet the standard and still let them post an edict or a water cut notice in five minutes.
The scope covers the whole municipal website, from accessibility to hosting. These are the usual components.
Design and code to UNE-EN 301549 and WCAG 2.1 AA, an audit report and an accessibility statement with its feedback and complaints channel.
Municipal services with hours and contacts, edicts, minutes, bylaws, planning, events and alerts, arranged around what people search for.
Each procedure links to its entry in the e-office, using Cl@ve or an FNMT certificate; the site's own forms are only for requests needing no identification.
A transparency portal under Ley 19/2013 and a contractor profile linked to the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público.
The most consulted PDFs turned into web pages, and an editor warning whenever a scanned document is uploaded.
Bilingual publishing with the same structure in regions with their own language.
Servers in Spain, encrypted backups, monitoring and documentation for the Esquema Nacional de Seguridad.
We fit the schedule to the organisation's own calendar and procurement procedure. Each phase ends with a deliverable that can go to the governing board or the contracting authority.
An accessibility report on the existing site, an inventory of content and procedures, and a list of what will be migrated, rebuilt or dropped.
A section map based on what residents actually look for, with links to the sede electrónica and the transparency portal already in place.
Templates and forms tested with keyboard, NVDA and VoiceOver, content migration and the most visited PDFs turned into accessible web pages.
Final review, an accessibility statement ready to publish, hands-on training with staff's own content and go-live.
Most accessibility problems on a council website sit inside PDFs. Scanned edicts, unstructured minutes and print-only forms are documents a screen reader cannot read. There is no need to redo years of archives: publish new material properly and turn the most consulted documents into web pages. The editor warns when someone uploads a scanned PDF, and the accessibility statement explains how the older archive is handled.
Real Decreto 1112/2018, which points to the UNE-EN 301549 standard, in practice equivalent to WCAG 2.1 AA, and requires a published accessibility statement with a feedback and complaints mechanism. We design and audit the site against those criteria and hand you the statement ready to publish.
Procedures requiring identification belong in the sede electrónica, which the site links to without duplicating. For simple requests with no identification, such as activity sign-ups or bookings, we build dedicated forms that issue a receipt. Each procedure then sits where the law expects it.
Depending on value and purpose, as a contrato menor or through a tender; the decision and its justification lie with your procurement department. For tenders we bid via the Plataforma de Contratación del Sector Público with the ESPD and whatever technical documents the specifications require. Invoices go through FACe using the DIR3 codes you provide, and tender questions can be sent to tender@apply.es.
The website and its hosting are among the systems your organisation must protect under the ENS. We host in Spanish data centres with encrypted backups and monitoring, and supply the technical documentation your security officer needs. We help you prepare for conformity; certification is issued by an accredited body.
In regions with a co-official language, the site is published in both with the same structure, and so is the accessibility statement. The admin shows which pages still lack a translation so neither version falls behind.
