In line with our accessibility policies (and because everyone should) we design and develop sites following WCAG 2.2 standards, covering everything from colour contrast and alt text to keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility.

What does a website accessibility assessment entail?
The assessment confirms the website meets the AA or AAA criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The website accessibilty test is carried out by a specialist working through the full WCAG checklist — manually, not via an automated scan. Real human testing is central to this, including feedback from people with disabilities and testing across devices and assistive tools.

Accessible websites score highly on tools like WAVE and Google PageSpeed Insights

FAQs
Is my website compliant with EAA, WCAG.2 or B Corp accessibility standards?
If you’re looking to test how compliant your site is, we recommend using tools like WAVE and Google PageSpeed Insights. These can help you gauge an overall understanding as to how accessible your website is, but if you would like a more in depth audit then please get in touch.
If you find that your website isn’t very accessible yet, dont worry – we can change that! We design all of our websites inline with internationally recognised standards, as well as work with trusted partners to assess and provide feedback for website accessibility reports.
What is WCAG 2.2 in websites?
It’s the international standard for web accessibility – a set of guidelines that help ensure your website is usable by everyone, and reduce legal risk.
Do I need an AA or AAA compliant website?
For most organisations, AA is the right target. It’s the level referenced by UK law (the Equality Act 2010), required by the European Accessibility Act, and mandatory for public sector websites. It covers the vast majority of real user needs and is achievable with good design practice.
AAA goes further — but the W3C itself notes it can’t realistically apply to entire websites, as some criteria don’t suit all content types. In practice, selective AAA improvements make sense for specific high-stakes areas: a checkout flow, a contact form, a patient portal.
We’ll always advise on what’s appropriate for your organisation, audience, and regulatory context.
What happens after I get an Accessible Website Report?
You receive a written report summarising your accessibility compliance, noting any issues, and outlining prioritised recommendations. We’ll go through it with you and help create a clear plan of action.

Do accessible websites still look good?
Yes absolutely! Good design is both inclusive and visually engaging. Ever since our founder, Simon, first began designing websites, meticulous detail and strong visual identity has been at the heart of what we do. Today, we proudly pair our design values with our understanding of digital equity. Inline with our accessibility policies (and because everyone should) we design and develop sites following WCAG 2.2 standards, covering everything from colour contrast and image captions to keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility.
How do I audit an existing site for accessibility?
We can help. We work with a third-party testing body to provide a clear, written report with prioritised recommendations for improvement. We can then go through it with you to create a plan for your website.
Will accessibility slow my site down?
No – accessibility improvements typically improve speed, SEO, and usability by making sites more efficient. We also monitor page speeds as part of our Hosting & Maintenance support.
Can an accessible website also be low carbon?
Yes. Accessible websites are also far more likely to be a low-carbon one. Both approaches prioritise efficient, lightweight, and straightforward design. Accessible sites tend to use faster-loading code, minimise heavy media, and offer clear, intuitive navigation – resulting in lighter, more maintainable code that processes quickly on servers and renders faster in browsers, reducing energy use across both.

How much does it cost to make a website accessible?
A well designed and well built website will have the essentials of positive accessibility woven in from the beginning so there should be no extra fees here – this will be suitable for the majority of sites. If full AA or AAA compliance is needed, this can add extra time to the build and effort depends on the complexity of the site, but website owners should anticipate 1–2 weeks of work here, so between £4.5k and £9k. There are also further costs for accessibility testing and reporting, especially if these need to be conducted by an external, certified third party, and their fees vary based on the complexity of the site too.
If you have an existing website that you want to make more accessible, this can be quite straightforward aa there is often a lot of ‘low hanging fruit’.
What about website hosting, maintenance, support?
We provide ongoing checks and updates to maintain WCAG 2.2 compliance and ensure your site remains usable as technologies evolve. This takes care of all of the technical maintenance and updates of the website to keep it functioning perfectly.
Our managed web hosting starts at £220 per month, read more about our Managed WordPress Hosting.
