05 Maintenance & Accessibility

Accessibility monitoring & WCAG compliance

Approximately one in five people in the UK live with a disability that affects how they use the web. Ensuring your website is accessible is increasingly a legal and commercial requirement.

Accessibility is a business imperative.

Approximately one in five people in the UK live with a disability that affects how they use the web. Ensuring your website is accessible isn't just the right thing to do — it's increasingly a legal and commercial requirement. The Equality Act 2010 places obligations on service providers to make reasonable adjustments, and the regulatory landscape continues to tighten.

Beyond compliance, accessibility improvements benefit all users. Better colour contrast, clearer navigation, and well-structured content improve the experience for everyone — including mobile users, older visitors, and people using your site in challenging conditions.

Our accessibility service

We conduct automated and manual accessibility audits against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, targeting Level AA compliance as a practical standard for most businesses.

Automated scanning catches the majority of technical issues:

  • Missing alt text
  • Poor heading hierarchy
  • Insufficient contrast ratios
  • Form labelling gaps

Manual testing covers areas that automated tools cannot reliably assess, such as keyboard navigation flows and screen reader compatibility.

Ongoing compliance

Accessibility is not a one-time checkbox. New content, design changes, and plugin updates can all introduce regressions. We integrate accessibility checks into our regular maintenance cycle, flagging new issues as they arise and addressing them within your retainer hours.

If your organisation requires a formal accessibility statement or needs to demonstrate compliance for procurement purposes, we can prepare the necessary documentation.
