Consider the whole visit

Accessible web design Nottingham businesses can plan for.

Accessible web design helps more people use your website. We consider the navigation, content and controls during the build, and agree any specific testing requirements before the work starts.

Discuss your requirements

Start with the people using the site

A customer may use a keyboard, magnify the page, prefer reduced motion or read the site with assistive technology. Those needs belong in the brief alongside the page count and visual direction. Tell us about known requirements early, including any existing accessibility feedback.

Make the main tasks easier to complete

We consider whether visitors can find a service, read the information and reach the contact option without relying on a mouse or a particular screen size. Navigation needs a logical order, controls need useful labels and keyboard focus needs to remain visible.

  • Headings that describe the content and follow a sensible order
  • Links and buttons with understandable names
  • Contact fields with labels, rather than placeholder-only instructions
  • Layouts that adapt to smaller screens and enlarged text

Check the experience, as well as the appearance

A visual review alone does not show how a menu, form or dialog works with a keyboard. Our project checks include those interactions and consider contrast, image descriptions and reduced-motion preferences. A specific assistive-technology or independent audit requirement needs its own agreed scope.

Keep the claim proportionate to the testing

Practical accessibility work is not the same as certifying every page against a standard. If you need assessment against WCAG, an accessibility statement or a formal conformance target, discuss that before accepting the quote. We will define what is being checked and what further review is needed.

Treat new content as part of the experience

Accessibility can change when new pages, images or documents are added. Clear writing, useful alternative text and sensible heading structure still matter after launch. Content changes are separate from hosting, so agree how future edits and any associated checks will be handled.
