Certification

To achieve certification each website undergoes a manual technical compliance review against WCAG 2.1 to level AA.

The site underwent both a technical compliance audit and robust end to end testing by users with a wide range of disabilities including blind, low vision, dyslexia, colour blindness, mobility impairments, learning difficulties, Deaf, Asperger and anxiety and panic disorder.

All testing is carried out in line with relevant platform specific guidelines, and where applicable, conforms with The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No.2) Accessibility Regulations 2018. Testing also conforms to Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Below is a list of issues currently found on the last accessibility test of the Manolo Blahnik Main Website by the DAC. (See Scope of Testing below.)

  • No issues remain at WCAG Level Single A and Double A.
