Accessibility audits and fixes

We treat accessibility as part of how a site works for real people: clear structure, keyboard access, usable forms and content that assistive technology can follow. No badge-chasing and no audit theatre.

What our accessibility work covers

  • Audit against real templates

    We test the pages and journeys that matter, with a keyboard and screen reader as well as automated checks, then translate findings into a clear fix list.

    • Key templates and conversion paths
    • Automated checks plus manual review
    • Issues ranked by impact and effort

  • Remediation that ships

    We fix the barriers that block people, or guide your team if you want to keep ownership in-house. The goal is a more usable site, not a longer report.

    • Semantics, headings and landmarks
    • Focus, keyboard paths and forms
    • Contrast, media alternatives and labelling

  • Statements and rechecks

    You get plain-language notes on what improved, what is still open, and how to keep the site accessible as it changes.

    • Accessibility statement updates
    • Retest after fixes ship
    • Guidance so gains do not regress

    We remediate the highest-impact issues, or pair with your team if you prefer to stay hands-on.

  4. 04

    Verify

    We retest what changed, update your statement where needed, and note what still needs work.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. If yours is not here, ask us on a call.

Do you sell accessibility certification or badges?

No. Nobody can honestly certify a whole site as permanently accessible. We audit against WCAG 2.2 AA, fix what we find, and keep improving as the site changes. If someone sells you a badge, treat it with caution.

Is website accessibility a legal requirement in the UK?

In Great Britain, the Equality Act 2010 requires businesses to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people, and that includes digital services. Northern Ireland has similar duties under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Neither law names a technical standard, but WCAG 2.2 AA is the benchmark most organisations use to show they have taken reasonable steps. If you sell to consumers in the EU, the European Accessibility Act may apply as well. Public-sector tenders and larger buyers increasingly ask for evidence of it too.

Are automated accessibility tools enough?

No. Tools catch useful issues, but they miss many barriers around keyboard use, screen reader behaviour, focus order and whether the experience actually makes sense. We use automation as a starting point, then decide with manual testing.

Does accessibility help SEO?

Indirectly. Google does not use accessibility or WCAG conformance as a ranking factor, but some of the same work helps search: descriptive alt text and meaningful link text help Google understand your images and pages, and a site that is easier to use keeps more visitors. Treat any search benefit as a bonus, not the reason to do the work.

Can you improve a site you did not build?

Yes. Many accessibility projects start on sites built elsewhere, including Shopify stores. After a short review we will say whether remediation is the right path or whether parts of the stack are fighting you.

How is this different from building accessibility into a new site?

On new builds we design and implement to WCAG 2.2 AA from the brief. This service is for sites that already exist: find the barriers, fix the ones that matter, and leave you with a clearer path to keep improving.

Will you rewrite our accessibility statement?

Yes, when the engagement calls for it. We update the statement to match what the site actually does, including known limitations, rather than copying a generic template.

Let's build something better

If your current website or software isn't delivering, we think it's time to talk. We'll review what you have, identify what's not working and show you how to improve it.
