Internet Accessibility
Internet accessibility and online accessibility are no longer optional. If your website does not meet modern accessibility standards, you are not just excluding users — you are also losing potential traffic, engagement, and business. At Access by Design, we specialise in creating accessible websites that combine striking design with full compliance, helping you build a strong and inclusive online presence from the ground up.
Why Internet Accessibility Matters Today
Accessible websites are essential for any organisation serious about inclusivity and compliance. Laws such as the Equality Act and the European Accessibility Act set clear expectations. Without internet accessibility, you risk alienating users and facing legal consequences.
Accessible websites are easier to navigate, faster to load, and compatible with assistive technologies. They improve user experience for all visitors, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities. They also perform better in search engine results, thanks to clean structure and semantic content.
Delivering Online Accessibility Through Design And Development
We embed online accessibility into every stage of our process. From initial sketches to final deployment, our team works to eliminate barriers. We use a combination of automated scanning tools and real-world testing by disabled users to ensure every site we launch is fully accessible and meets WCAG 2.2 standards.
This multi-layered approach ensures your website meets both legal requirements and ethical responsibilities. It is not just about ticking boxes — it is about creating digital spaces that are open to everyone.
Boost SEO And Reach With Inclusive Internet Accessibility
Search engines reward accessible websites with better visibility. Features that help disabled users, such as structured headings, descriptive links, and image alt text, also help search engines understand and index your content.
By focusing on internet accessibility, you gain wider reach, better rankings, and increased engagement. It is a win-win for both your users and your business. We help you create inclusive designs that align with your brand and boost your SEO strategy naturally.
Online Accessibility Is About Real People, Not Just Compliance
Many agencies rely only on tools to scan for issues, but that is not enough. Real accessibility comes from understanding how real people interact with your site. That is why our process includes testing by users who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive technologies.
We also offer customisation options such as contrast controls and text resizing to support neurodivergent users. These features improve the internet accessibility experience for everyone and demonstrate your commitment to inclusion.
How We Integrate Internet Accessibility Into Every Stage
From the first consultation, we map out a clear strategy for building accessible websites that meet your goals. Our team handles everything: accessible design, semantic HTML, clear navigation, and compliant colour contrast.
Once your site is live, we conduct over 80 internal checks and use disabled testers to validate performance. You stay compliant while providing a smooth experience for your visitors. Explore our full accessibility services.
Training, Consultancy And Support For Ongoing Online Accessibility
Accessibility is not a one-time task. As your content grows and your goals evolve, your website must remain inclusive. That is why we offer consultancy and training to keep your team up to speed. We empower you to maintain your site without compromising accessibility.
