Accessible Websites Built For Everyone
Accessible websites must be designed for everyone. At Access by Design, we specialise in web page accessibility from the very beginning. Whether for a business, charity or public sector body, your site must support every user. Our accessible websites are fully compliant with WCAG and built around real user needs.
What Makes Accessible Websites Compliant With WCAG
A website must meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA. This includes keyboard access, screen reader structure, colour contrast, and semantic HTML. We test every site manually using assistive technologies and real disabled users. That is how we uncover what automated tools miss and fix it before it becomes a problem.
True compliance means a website is usable in practice, not just in theory. That is why our audits focus on lived experience, not checklists. It is about clarity, not complexity. Accessible websites should serve all users, regardless of how they access the internet.
How We Build Web Page Accessibility Into Every Site
Web page accessibility is built in from the start. We use semantic HTML - Logical headings - Alt text - Skip links - Keyboard support - Contrast checking - Accessible form labels.
We also review downloadable PDFs and other assets to ensure every user interaction is covered. We carry out audits, advise on content structure, and ensure ongoing compliance. Accessible websites must be tested regularly to keep them inclusive for everyone. Web page accessibility is not a one-time job. It is something we help you maintain with clarity and confidence.
Improving Accessibility Across Every Page
You may not need a new website. Many accessibility issues can be resolved with careful edits and structured updates. We help identify what can be fixed quickly and what needs more planning. Typical improvements include navigation changes | Layout adjustments | Headings and label fixes | Screen reader testing | Team training.
By improving website accessibility across your site, we help you meet standards, reduce risk and support every user journey. We take pride in transforming existing platforms into fully accessible websites that are compliant and user-friendly.
Accessible Website Design Built Around Real Users
We follow a clear five-step process for every website: Discovery - Design - Development - Testing - Support. Everything is fully custom-built using WordPress. We do not rely on 3rd party commercial templates or 3rd party accessibility overlays. Each build is shaped around your users, your goals and the latest website standards.
Our testing includes real disabled users who use screen readers, keyboard navigation and alternative input devices. That is how we ensure your site works for everyone, not just in theory but in practice. Accessible websites are not just about code, they are about real world use.

Web page accessibility improves SEO, reduces bounce rates and builds trust with users. It also protects you from reputational harm and legal risk. We help you create accessible websites that meet regulations without losing sight of what matters most: human connection.
Why This Matters Now
