Website Accessibility

Accessibility treated as engineering, not a badge: real keyboard paths, real contrast, real assistive-tech testing — and fixes that stay fixed.

Automated scanners catch roughly a third of accessibility problems — the loud third. The failures that end in legal letters and lost customers are quieter: a checkout no keyboard can complete, a form whose errors screen readers never announce, a modal that traps focus. Real accessibility work is manual testing against those paths, then fixing the patterns — not the pages — so the fixes survive the next redesign.

Engagements here run two ways: audits — a prioritised, written findings list with repro steps and severity, usable as a vendor brief if you do not build with this practice — and remediation, implementing fixes on your existing site with before/after verification. Every audit states the standard it was tested against.

Questions

Asked about accessibility.

No honest developer guarantees legal compliance — that is a lawyer question. What is guaranteed: testing against the WCAG success criteria you target, written findings with repro steps, fixes implemented and re-verified. Sites that pass real manual testing are what compliance reviews look for.

Complaints are the lagging indicator. The leading ones: older audiences using zoom, mobile visitors in sunlight, anyone temporarily one-handed. Accessibility fixes routinely improve conversion and SEO as side effects — semantic structure and alt text are exactly what search engines read.

Most issues are fixable in place: contrast, focus, semantics, form labelling, keyboard order. The exceptions are builds where the foundation fights you — JavaScript-rendered shells with no document structure, or page-builder markup too tangled to correct. The audit tells you which situation you are in before you spend on fixes.
