Our Brief

The council’s mission is to deliver good Local Authority-managed services in Sefton to all who live, visit and work there. To continue their great work, Sefton Council was looking for web accessibility solutions to make their website inclusive to the widest possible audience.

Our Solution

To support everyone online accessing key information about Sefton Council, the Recite Me accessibility and language toolbar was installed.

At a single click of the “listen and translate” button at the top of the website, any web visitor can customise the Sefton Council website in a way that works best for them.  

The toolbar gives users several options to make reading easier, such as having the text read aloud to them or changing font sizes and colours. These features will help make the site as accessible as possible to people of all ages, including people with disabilities, learning difficulties or other communication preferences.

Recite Me can also translate any written content on demand into over 100 different languages, including 65 text-to-speech voices and many other features.
