Websites everyone can use.

Web accessibility means building websites and apps that everyone can use, including people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation or screen magnification. Beyond being the right thing to do, an accessible site reaches a wider audience, performs better in search, and reduces legal risk. Every project I take on is measured against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA — the standard most laws and procurement rules point to.

A web accessibility audit pairs automated scanning with hands-on manual testing. I check every unique page with real assistive technology — JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack — plus keyboard-only navigation, 400% browser zoom and the Colour Contrast Analyser. You receive a prioritised report listing each WCAG 2.2 issue, its severity and a clear, plain-language fix, so your team knows exactly what to do next rather than being handed a raw scanner dump.

Accessibility remediation is the fixing stage that follows an audit. I work through the issues — from colour contrast and missing labels to keyboard traps and incorrect ARIA — and re-test each one until your site genuinely passes, not just looks compliant. Remediation can be delivered as code your developers merge, or I can implement the fixes directly on WordPress, Shopify, BigCommerce and other platforms.

Yes. Alongside audits I build accessibility-ready, ADA-compliant themes and plugins for WordPress, Shopify and BigCommerce, all conformant with WCAG 2.2 AA from the first line of code. My accessible WordPress theme and the Ananyoo accessible carousel, login and forms plugins are built and tested the same way I test client sites — with real screen readers and keyboard-only use — so accessibility is never bolted on afterwards.

In many regions, yes. Standards such as the ADA and Section 508 in the United States, AODA in Ontario and the European Accessibility Act increasingly expect websites to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. A web accessibility audit and a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) give you documented proof of where your site stands today and a clear plan to close any gaps before they become a problem.

Every audit is run by a DHS Trusted Tester with IAAP-certified colleagues, so the standard behind the work is real and independently checkable. I test the way disabled visitors actually browse — with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack, keyboard only, browser zoom and the Colour Contrast Analyser — alongside automated tools such as Deque axe, Google Lighthouse and WAVE, so nothing slips between what machines catch and what people experience.

Most web accessibility audits are completed within one to two weeks, depending on the number of unique page templates and the complexity of your site. I communicate entirely in writing, so you receive a clear, detailed report you can share with your team and revisit at any time, instead of trying to remember notes from a call.
