Make your website work for everyone

The short answer

What the Accessibility Fix is

The Accessibility Fix is an audit of your existing website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2) at level AA, followed by the fixes, on up to 15 page templates. You finish with a site more people can use, a written record of what was found and fixed, and an accessibility statement to publish.

Accessibility means people can use your site with a screen reader, a keyboard instead of a mouse, magnification, voice control or color settings of their own. Many of them are customers who simply give up on a site they can't use and call someone else.

How we test

Automated checks, then a person

Automated tools find only part of the problems, so every template is also tested by hand.

01

Automated scan

Lighthouse and axe checks on every template, for the problems a machine can detect reliably.

  • Missing image descriptions and form labels
  • Low color contrast
  • Headings and landmarks out of order

02

Keyboard only

Every menu, form and button used with the keyboard alone.

  • A visible focus outline at every step
  • No traps you can't tab out of
  • A skip link to the main content

03

Screen reader

The key pages read aloud the way a blind visitor hears them.

  • Links and buttons that say where they go
  • Form errors that are announced
  • Menus and pop-ups that make sense

04

Zoom and motion

The site at 200% and 400% zoom, at phone width, and with reduced motion turned on.

  • Nothing cut off or overlapping
  • No sideways scrolling to read text
  • Animation that respects the visitor's setting

What you get

Audit, fixes and a statement

The audit

Each problem with the page, the WCAG criterion it fails, who it affects and how to fix it.

The fixes

We fix the problems on up to 15 templates, then test again with the same tools and by hand.

The statement

An accessibility statement in plain English: your target, how you tested, known limits and how visitors can report a barrier. Ours is on our accessibility page.

Problems inside third-party tools you embed, such as a booking widget or a chat window, are listed with what we found. We can only fix what we can change; for the rest, the report says what to ask the vendor for.

Price

Priced by the size of the site

Accessibility isn't a one-time stamp. New pages, images and plugins can bring problems back, so the report ends with a short checklist for whoever adds content, and every site we build is tested to the same AA target before launch (build standard).

FAQ

Questions about website accessibility fixes

What is WCAG 2.2 AA?

WCAG is the international guideline for accessible websites, published by the W3C. Version 2.2 is the current one, and level AA is the level most organizations aim for. It is a set of testable rules, such as text contrast, keyboard access and labeled form fields.

Will an accessibility overlay or widget do the same job?

No. A toolbar added on top of a site doesn't fix the underlying code, and screen reader users often find overlays make things harder. We fix the site itself.

Can my site be 100% accessible?

No site can claim to work for every person in every situation. What we can do is meet the WCAG 2.2 AA criteria on the templates we fix, test it properly, and publish an honest statement with known limits.

What counts as a template?

A page layout used by many pages, such as your service page, blog post or contact page. Fixing the template fixes every page built on it, which is why 15 templates usually covers a whole small business site.

Do you change my design?

Only where a design choice fails a rule, such as light gray text that is too faint to read. We show you each visible change before it goes live.
