The average homepage has 51 accessibility errors

According to a recent study (source) pages frequently have accessibility errors. Fortunately, we have built a system that works to quickly identify and categories errors for severity. Ensuring our developers and content editors can effectively address issues by priority. Helping to boost compliance with legislation, dramatically reducing the risk of legal action being taken on your site.

More accessible = higher performing

An accessible website offers a better user experience by making content easier to navigate, understand, and interact with for everyone, not just people with disabilities. Improved usability leads to higher engagement, lower bounce rates, and better performance across devices and platforms. Accessibility best practices also enhance SEO, speed, and overall site efficiency, helping your website reach a wider audience and perform more effectively.

Our responsive custom built accessibility reporting platform quickly gives the exact data you need.

We have built a platform that analyses select pages on your website for WCAG 2.2 compliance. This combines automated and manual testing, where our team will evaluate aspects such as colour contrast, keyboard functionality, screen reader compatibility.

We report this to you via a monthly or quarterly report, with any issues being actioned quickly by our in house development team.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA)

If you do business in the United States, you are probably already aware of the legal implications of an inaccessible site. Now, if you do business in Europe, you need to take the same care.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is an EU directive requiring key products and services – such as websites, apps, e-commerce, and banking – to be accessible to people with disabilities.

Non-compliance may result in fines, legal action, exclusion from public contracts, and reputational damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is website accessibility?

Website accessibility refers to designing and developing websites so that people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor and cognitive impairments can use them effectively. It ensures content, navigation, and functionality are available to everyone.

Why is accessibility important for my website?

Accessible websites provide a better user experience for all visitors, not just those with disabilities. Incorporating accessibility best practices into your websites also ensures you are compliant with recent legislation, such as the WCAG standards in the US and the EU Accessibility Act. Therefore reducing risk of legal risk action being taken.

What accessibility requirements should my website meet?

The most widely recognised standard is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. In the UK, accessibility is also linked to the Equality Act 2010, which requires businesses to make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities.

How do I know if my website is accessible?

Whilst you can run an automated audit yourself, the most reliable and useful approach is to commission a professional accessibility audit and report. Our team combines technical testing with manual reviews to identify issues and provide actionable recommendations.

What happens if my website isn’t accessible?

Websites that fail to meet accessibility standards risk excluding users, damaging brand reputation, and facing potential legal challenges. It can also affect conversions, as visitors may leave if they struggle to use your site.

How often should accessibility be tested?

Accessibility should be reviewed regularly, especially after redesigns or new feature launches. We recommend annual audits at a minimum, with more frequent testing for organisations subject to strict compliance requirements.

What’s included in a website accessibility report?

Our accessibility reporting service provides a detailed analysis of your site against WCAG criteria. You’ll receive clear explanations of issues, prioritised recommendations, and practical guidance for your design and development team.

Can accessibility improvements help with SEO?

Yes. Many accessibility best practices such as providing alt text, using proper heading structures, and ensuring fast load times overlap with SEO ranking factors. Optimising for accessibility often leads to better visibility in search engines.
