- Web chat accessibility testing
- We do not deploy a single, standard off-the-shelf web chat product and therefore have not undertaken standalone assistive technology testing to date. Web chat solutions are selected or configured on a per-customer basis, either by sourcing a suitable third-party product or building upon an existing customer platform. Where accessibility testing with assistive technology users is required, this can be planned and delivered in collaboration with the customer and the chosen supplier, aligned to agreed accessibility standards and user needs.
- Support levels
-
We provide tiered support levels, bespoke to each customer, project, and set of requirements. All support services are provided at an additional cost and are not included within the core service unless explicitly agreed.
