Accessibility & standards
Sites that work for everyone, whether they use a keyboard, a screen reader or a phone in bright sunlight, built on valid, standards-compliant markup.
WCAG as the checklist W3C-valid markup Keyboard-friendly
What’s included
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are our checklist, tested with tools and by hand.
-
An accessibility review
Your pages checked against WCAG with automated tools and by hand, each issue explained in plain language.
-
Color contrast
Text and buttons with enough contrast to read, keeping your brand colors. We darkened our own button green for exactly this.
-
Forms everyone can fill in
Visible labels, clear error messages and fields that work with autofill and screen readers.
-
Keyboard and screen readers
Menus and accordions you can use without a mouse, with the right labels for assistive technology.
-
Valid, semantic markup
HTML that passes the W3C validator, with headings, landmarks and alt text where they belong.
-
Respecting preferences
Reduced motion honored, text that can be enlarged, and layouts that reflow on small screens.

Questions
Straight answers to what people usually ask first.
Can you make our site fully compliant?
We find and fix the issues we test for and document what we checked. If you need a formal, certified audit, that’s a separate step, and we’ll tell you if you do.
Can you check a site you didn’t build?
Yes. A review works on any site; fixing what it finds depends on access to the code and the CMS.
Will it change our design?
Rarely by much. Most fixes are in the markup; the visible ones are usually contrast, focus outlines and form labels.
