New Website Champions The Great Work Of Motability (The Charity)
Motability is a national charity that aims to enhance the lives of people with a disability through cost-effective mobility solutions and a number of charitable grant programmes that supports people who need help with the cost of Motability Advance Payments and specialist vehicle adaptations.
It was essential that the mobile version of the new Motability’s website was as accessible as the desktop version. Analysis revealed that almost two thirds (64%) of visitors were using the charity’s old website via a mobile device as opposed to the desktop (28%) and tablets (8%) in the 12 months to June 2021.
The new website has been given a WCAG 2.1 AA* rating by the Shaw Trust's Web Accessibility Accreditation Service after being reviewed by experienced testers with a range of disabilities, including mobility impairments, colour blindness, no and low vision, deafness, dyslexia and learning difficulties.

Motability’s Chief Executive Officer, Barry Le Grys MBE, Said:
“Accessibility is paramount for us when communicating with our beneficiaries, and this is why we are proud to have maintained our partnership with Shaw Trust over many years.
“Together with Initials, they have helped to create a website that champions the stories of our beneficiaries and highlights the work of Motability. The new website ensures that disabled people and those who help and advise them are aware of the grants, research and projects that we undertake across the UK to help achieve our vision – that no disabled person shall be disadvantaged due to poor access to transportation.”

Joe Manock, National Account Manager at Shaw Trust Accessibility Services, Added:
“Motability and Shaw Trust Accessibility Services have a long-standing partnership ensuring that the Motability Products and Services are fully accessible and inclusive for all.
“We at Shaw Trust are delighted to have supported the development of Motability’s new website over the last few months and have been impressed at the care and attention that has been taken to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA Standards to create a fully inclusive and user-friendly accessible website.”
