Web Accessibility
Web accessibility is emerging as an essential aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for modern businesses. By ensuring digital content is usable by people of all abilities, companies can demonstrate their commitment to inclusivity, ethical practices, and social value creation.

- Promoting equal opportunities in the digital space
- Enhancing a company's reputation for social responsibility
- Expanding market reach to include people with disabilities
- Mitigating legal risks associated with accessibility regulations
- Improving overall user experience and website performance
To implement web accessibility, businesses should:
- Conduct regular accessibility audits
- Adopt accessible design practices
- Provide staff training on accessibility
- Utilise assistive technologies and tools
By prioritising web accessibility, companies can strengthen their CSR efforts while also realising tangible business benefits. This approach aligns ethical considerations with strategic goals, positioning accessibility as a win-win proposition for both organisations and society at large.
A staggering 96.3% of the top 1 million web pages failed to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 level AA standards in 2023. This is only a slight improvement from 97.8% in 2019 [6][7]

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the common questions and answers we think you may find useful.
I'll guarantee that if you don't feel like you've received value by the time your website goes live or you are not happy with the level of service you have received then I'll give you your money back. No questions asked.
All hosting is covered by Webflow hosting. Powered by Amazon AWS and Fastly, so you have guaranteed uptime, reliability and automatic backups. Hosting costs are dependant on the functionality you require, but all of that is agreed before any work is undertaken so you are clear on what costs are involved.
There are discounts available if you choose to sign up for a 1 year contract, otherwise I can do month-to-month contracts if you prefer. All your code and content is yours and I can export that for you if you decide to move to another platform.
All your content models are built with a core brand at the heart of everything. So a simple update to the core brand means everything updates automatically. Fonts, colour, brand logo it's all managed centrally. If that ever changes, let me know and I'll update it free of charge, as long as you are an existing client.
That does depend on which project you go for (Small, Medium or Large) but on our larger builds it's generally done within a 6 to 8 week period. This is obviously difficult to guarantee as there are so many variables, but thats a useful guide.
All websites are built with an easy-to-use visual editor that makes any update a breeze. You don't need to have any development expertise. If you prefer, I do also offer a maintenance add-on to take that off your hands.
