Accessibility and compliance, the way it should be done
There are two reasons to take accessibility seriously. The first is that one in five people in the UK has a disability that affects how they use the web. The second is that the law has caught up with that reality, and is catching up faster than most agencies are admitting.
We design and build to WCAG 2.2 AA as standard. We test every site against it. And we run audits for clients with sites we didn’t build, where a third party or a regulator has flagged a problem.
What we do under this banner
- Full WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audits, with prioritised action plans and a clear scope for fixing.
- Accessible-by-default design. Colour contrast, type, focus states, motion, structure, alt text, captions. The lot.
- Cookie and consent compliance for UK GDPR and PECR.
- Accessibility statements written in plain English that match what the site actually does.
- Training for in-house teams who need to keep accessibility live after we leave.
What you get from us
A written audit, scored, with screenshots and code-level recommendations.
A priority list split into “must fix this quarter”, “should fix this year” and “watch this”. A budget figure for putting things right, with options.
And a plain English accessibility statement you can publish.
Why it matters more every year
A short paragraph on the legal landscape. Public sector bodies have legal accessibility duties under the 2018 regulations.
The European Accessibility Act 2025 lifted the bar across consumer-facing websites. UK case law has started to test private-sector duties under the Equality Act. The direction of travel is clear.
