Meeting Accessibility Standards and Procurement Requirements
Public sector organisations operate within frameworks that demand compliance, transparency and value for money. From WCAG accessibility standards to procurement regulations and data protection requirements, the constraints are real and the scrutiny is constant. Every WordPress site, SEO campaign and paid media activity delivered for public sector clients is built with these obligations in mind.
WCAG Compliance and Accessibility Testing
All WordPress sites are developed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards as a baseline. This includes semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, colour contrast ratios and form accessibility. Sites are tested with automated tools and manual audits before launch. Ongoing accessibility monitoring identifies issues introduced through content updates, and training ensures internal teams maintain standards without relying on external support for routine publishing.
Framework Agreements and Procurement Compliance
Priority Pixels works through established procurement frameworks and supports organisations navigating tender processes. Documentation is structured to meet public sector requirements, pricing is transparent and contract terms align with standard public sector frameworks. For organisations with existing framework agreements, the team adapts to your procurement processes without creating administrative burden for internal teams.
Data Protection and Security Standards
WordPress hosting includes regular security updates, automated backups and monitoring that meets public sector expectations. SSL certificates, secure form handling and data protection measures are standard. For organisations handling sensitive information, hosting can be configured to meet specific security requirements. All data processing aligns with GDPR and public sector data protection obligations.
Performance Reporting and Value for Money
Monthly reporting connects activity to outcomes, showing how organic SEO, AI search and paid media support service delivery targets. Reports include public engagement metrics, search visibility trends and campaign performance data. For leadership teams answering to elected members or board scrutiny, reporting demonstrates the commercial impact of digital investment and provides the evidence needed to justify ongoing budgets.
