Website Accessibility Optimisation

WCAG 2.2 AA audits and remediation — the right thing to do, and increasingly the legally required one.

Overview

Accessibility is no longer optional. Under the UK Equality Act and forthcoming European Accessibility Act, an inaccessible website is a legal risk — and a commercial one, because 20% of the UK population has some form of disability. We audit sites to WCAG 2.2 AA, prioritise remediation by impact, and hand over an accessibility statement your legal team can stand behind.

Frequently asked

Answers before you have to ask.

Is my business legally required to be accessible?
UK public sector: yes, since 2018. Private sector: covered by the Equality Act — enforceable via disability discrimination claims. The European Accessibility Act extends this in 2025.
What is WCAG 2.2 AA?
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at Level AA — the standard most regulators and public bodies require.
Can accessibility be fully automated?
No. Automated tools catch 30–40% of issues. The rest — keyboard traps, ARIA misuse, focus order — require manual expert review.
Will accessibility hurt design?
Not at all. Accessible sites are typically clearer, faster and more usable for everyone.
What does an audit cost?
£1,200–£2,500 for typical business sites depending on template count.
