Accessible web design is in our DNA. Since our founding, we’ve been committed to improving user experience for all, regardless of their abilities. It’s the right thing to do from an ethical standpoint, and also essential for business, as approximately 1 in 5 of us are disabled - 1+ billion people worldwide. It’s why we have a dedicated Accessibility Lead, Team GB Paralympian Zac Shaw, and our unique Inclusion Lab - a hands-on training digital accessibility workshop which we can deliver to your organisation.
Accessibility is also a legal requirement for certain organisations: regulations were introduced in 2018 to enforce accessibility standards for public sector websites. In addition, accessible websites will benefit from a rankings boost on major search engines. We make platforms that go beyond pure technical accessibility to be truly inclusive and highly usable.
We’re highly experienced at partnering with public sector clients who value and require digital inclusion, so we understand the nuances of working in cross-functional Agile teams in line with Government Digital Service (GDS) standards, plus all the varying accessibility standards and compliance constraints that apply to public-sector bodies and are also adopted by the charity sector. We’ve helped clients including Financial Ombudsman Service, the Bank of England and the Cabinet Office to not only meet, but exceed the required standards – and we’re ready to do the same for you.
Accessibility for us isn't an item on a checklist or an issue of compliance - though we we guarantee WCAG 2.2 AA compliance as standard - but is our way of working and thinking. It’s embedded throughout our design and development processes, right from how and who we conduct discovery research with, right through to expert audits and testing of services and products with users on assistive technologies.
We can guide you towards not just accessibility compliance, but inclusive services designed to deliver great experiences to everyone who uses them.
Our researchers will work with you to include a diverse range voices and feedback in any discovery and user testing work, ensuring that design solutions are inclusive and deliver on accessibility.
We can conduct an expert review of your website, app or digital platform to identify any potential accessibility issues, and provide granular, page-specific guidance for designers and developers to resolve non-conformances.
Our expert team can provide structured training - in-person or online - carefully tailored to your organisations' needs, from introductory training, to more advanced practical training aimed at designers, developers, marketers, compliance teams, and more besides, empowering them to embed accessible practises into their day-to-day work.
We offer interactive training sessions, using devices simulating impairments, to equip your team with the knowledge and tools to innovate your digital strategy and delivery through the lens of users with permanent, temporary and situational disabilities, vulnerabilities and other barriers to inclusion.
