Accessibility & compliance
Built to standard, from day one.
Sites built to WCAG 2.1 AA, with the structure and care that practices in regulated fields need from day one. Accessible to every customer, and defensible if anyone asks.
The problem
An inaccessible site shuts customers out.
A site that fails on a screen reader, traps keyboard users, or runs low-contrast text turns away real customers, and for practices in regulated fields it invites complaints. We audit against WCAG 2.1 AA and remediate the real barriers: structure, contrast, labels, and keyboard paths, so the site is easier for everyone to use and more defensible if anyone asks.

WCAG 2.1 AA as the build target, not an afterthought

FAQ
Questions worth asking.
Can you guarantee my site is legally compliant?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises that. Accessibility work reduces barriers and improves conformance with WCAG, but no website can be guaranteed permanently compliant without ongoing review, content discipline, and legal guidance where it's required.
What does an accessibility audit cover?
A WCAG 2.1 AA-oriented review: semantic structure and heading order, keyboard navigation, color contrast, form labels and errors, alt text, and an ARIA review, with a prioritized remediation list.
Can you fix an existing site, or only ones you build?
Both. We remediate existing sites against a clear roadmap, and we build new sites to AA from the start so it isn't bolted on later.
Do you provide an accessibility statement?
Yes, on request: a plain statement of the standard targeted and the steps taken, written to describe efforts honestly without overclaiming compliance.
How do we keep it accessible over time?
Accessibility drifts as content changes. Ongoing checks are part of ongoing care, so new pages and edits stay within the standard.
