Walgreens Boots

Project Overview

We collaborated with Proventeq and Tata Consulting as Accessibility Specialists on a large-scale promotional offer system for Walgreens Boots Alliance (Boots.com). Working with a distributed UK/India team, we focused on ensuring WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for their Java (JSP)/Liferay portal hosted on Azure DevOps.

Our role involved conducting comprehensive accessibility reviews using a variety of tools including Siteimprove, AXE, NVDA, and Voiceover, combined with manual testing to deliver detailed compliance reports. The project also encompassed front-end development work, particularly focusing on complex JavaScript/TypeScript form interactions and single-page applications based on Figma designs.

The Challenge

The project presented several significant challenges that required careful management and innovative solutions:

• Working within strict time and budget constraints while maintaining high quality standards
• Coordinating effectively with multiple agencies across different time zones
• Ensuring seamless integration of accessibility features into complex form interactions
• Maintaining consistent communication and collaboration between UK and India teams

Our Solution

We implemented a comprehensive approach to ensure both accessibility compliance and optimal user experience:

Results

The project was successfully delivered on time and met all accessibility requirements, resulting in high satisfaction from all stakeholders. The implemented solutions ensured that the promotional offer system was fully accessible while maintaining its complex functionality.
