Accessible website design for diverse needs
Beautiful web platforms aren’t much good if people can’t actually use them. We believe everyone should be able to participate in digital experiences, regardless of disabilities. And to make sure no one is left behind, we build inclusive practices into everything we craft from the start.
Not only is this the right thing to do, but it’s also a legal obligation: most charities, universities, and nonprofits are required by law to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standard. And with the European Accessibility Act 2025 on the horizon, the stakes are only getting higher. Yet, according to the 2025 WebAIM Million report, 94.8% of the top one million homepages still have detectable WCAG failures – and nonprofits are no exception. That means mission-led organisations are unintentionally locking people out.
Partnering with accessible website designers helps make sure your content reaches people with impairments related to vision, hearing, mobility, and cognition. It’s not just a compliance box to tick – it’s about making sure everyone can use your digital platform with ease. And since many organisations are missing the mark, enhancing access to your own platform comes with all kinds of benefits:
For your users: Smooth, intuitive journeys, whether they’re on a screen reader, smartphone, or keyboard
For your reach: An accessible website connects you with more of the people who need your work
For your visibility: Search engines reward clarity and usability, especially on mobiles
For your values: Because inclusivity is simply the right thing to do
For your peace of mind: Stay ahead of WCAG 2.1 AA, the European Accessibility Act 2025, and ADA expectations
We craft elegantly simple digital experiences, built with deep respect for how your team and users naturally think and work. Designing accessible websites and platforms from day one means your mission is reachable to everyone, regardless of ability or device.
We’re also realistic: some accessibility features of websites and platforms are harder to make fully compliant, and sometimes perfect accessibility conflicts with other requirements. When that happens, we’ll be open about the trade-offs and help you find the most pragmatic solution.
Still, we always aim to get as close to 100% as possible – we’re proud to say we achieved a 99.9% accessibility score for The University of Oxford’s GO Lab initiative.
We're not just proud of what we build, we're proud of who we build it for. Our job is to make your web platform easier for all to use, so you can make the world easier for the people you serve.
Our approach:
Designing with accessibility in mind
We’ve made accessibility part of our DNA, considering inclusive design from the very start, not something tacked on at the end. Our accessible website designers meet rigorous standards, weaving creativity with digital expertise to craft platforms that enhance usability for all, including people with disabilities, older devices, or slow connections.
Testing as we build
Our development process includes testing as we build, using specialist tools to check different accessibility features of websites and platforms. Things like:
- Keyboard navigation and screen-reader compatibility, including ARIA attributes
- Logical heading structure and clear reading order
- Strong colour contrast and readable typography
- Responsive design across devices and screen sizes
- Alt text, captions, and transcripts for media
Regular website accessibility audits
We carry out full platform audits, including ADA compliance website audits, to make sure we meet the highest standards from the start. But accessibility isn’t a one-off project. So, we offer proactive monitoring, training, and ongoing digital support to ensure standards don’t slip, always aiming to get as close to 100% as possible.
Guiding your team
Accessibility is never finished, and we’ll stay with you to keep your platform compliant, inclusive, and easy to use. We help content editors add the right meta tags, alternative text and descriptions so those high standards carry through beyond launch.
Harnessing the power of Wagtail
We love Wagtail because it makes sense to our clients. With handy accessibility tools built into the CMS, the platform makes it easier for editors to maintain high standards – through even the highest content turnaround times.
No one left behind
Your mission only moves forward if the right people can reach it. When you partner with an accessible website agency, you’re not only meeting compliance by ensuring equal access for all — you’re making your work more visible, more trusted, and more effective. And for those in the mission-led sector, that matters. Whether you’re seeking a website accessibility audit to pave progress to come, or need an accessible website agency to look after your platform long term, our specialist team knows what matters to your mission.
