Accessibility

Websites everyone can use.

We design, build, and review WordPress websites to WCAG 2.2 AA, so people with disabilities can find information, complete tasks, and take part.

An accessibility report for an example organization's website, with no errors found and its headings, labels, and landmarks marked on the page.

Accessibility

Accessibility is how we work, not an add-on.

More than one in four Canadians aged 15 and older has a disability, and many more use captions, larger text, or a keyboard every day. We build accessibility into design, development, and content from the start, then test with the same tools your visitors use.

Standards

What every accessibility engagement includes.

Whether we are building a new website or improving an existing one, this is the standard we work to.

Standard

WCAG 2.2 AA. Meeting or exceeding the web requirements in most Canadian accessibility legislation.

Testing

Tested by people. Automated checks, keyboard-only reviews, and screen reader testing.

Design

Accessible from the first wireframe. Contrast, readable type, focus states, and layouts that hold up at any zoom.

Code

Semantic and robust. Landmarks, headings, and controls that assistive technology understands.

Forms

Clear and forgiving. Labels, instructions, and error messages that help people succeed.

Documents

Beyond the web page. Guidance for the accessible PDFs and documents your team publishes.

Training

Accessible after launch. Editor training, so new content stays accessible.

No overlays

Real fixes only. We fix the website itself rather than adding a widget on top.

In practice

What accessible looks like.

Accessibility lives in details most visitors never notice, until they’re missing. These are some of the ones we take care of on every project.

Free website review

See how accessible your website is.

Enter your website address and we’ll check your home page and a few linked pages for common WCAG problems, then explain what matters most. Automated checks find only a portion of barriers, so we’ll also tell you what a full review would cover.

This is an automated review, not a WCAG conformance audit. Automated checks find only a portion of accessibility barriers, and nothing here is legal advice. We email you the report and may follow up about the results. We respect your privacy, as our privacy policy explains.

Questions

Fair questions about accessibility.

We design and build to WCAG 2.2 AA, which meets or exceeds the web requirements in most Canadian accessibility legislation.

No. Automated tools find a portion of issues. Keyboard and screen reader testing by people is needed to find the rest.

Overlays do not fix the underlying code, and they can get in the way of the assistive technology people already use. We fix the website itself.

Often, yes. We start with a review, then fix the most important barriers first.
