When your website is accessible, your visitors can do the job they came to do – make a donation, subscribe to a newsletter, complete an enquiry form, or read your latest news.
Over the last 25 years, we’ve built accessible websites for W3C, RNIB, UK Parliament, Crossrail and many more.
How can we help you? We have lots of options to help you improve accessibility on your website, from small fixes that can make a big difference to a complete redesign.
Why choose us
Accessibility is at the heart of what we do. By championing an accessible web, we help make sure that nobody is left behind.
In 2023, we won a Gaady Award for the W3C website redesign. The Gaadys celebrate work that advances the GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) Foundation’s vision: accessibility is built into the product development lifecycle for technology and digital products.
How can we support you?
We talk about accessibility being a journey. Whether you’ve just started learning about accessibility or you’ve been maintaining an accessible website for years, we’d love to hear from you. Some of the ways we can help you improve accessibility on your website:
- Accessibility review
- Guide to accessible content
- Maintenance and support
- Training and consultancy
- Website redesign
Do any of these common scenarios match your current situation?
I don’t know if my website is accessible
This is completely understandable. Some websites are years old and have had many tweaks over time by different people. If you want to get a benchmark, our single-page accessibility review is a great place to start.
How do I write alt text for images?
You’ll be pleased to know that once you get into the habit of writing alt text it becomes second nature. We explain how to write good alt text in our Guide to Accessible Content.
The guide covers alt text, text content, links, colour contrast, audio and video content and much more. It provides tips and links to more detailed information to help you make all your content as accessible and user-friendly as possible.You can also sign up for our LinkedIn newsletter called ‘website accessibility tips’. This is published monthly and is full of helpful advice with links to resources to help you keep on top of accessibility.
I want to work through the issues identified in our accessibility statement
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, so working through issues in an iterative way is perfect. We provide support and maintenance for WordPress and Craft CMS websites, even if we didn’t do the original build ourselves. This includes accessibility checks to make sure visitors to your website have the best experience possible. We tailor our maintenance contracts to your needs, so email Emma and we’ll be in touch to chat through your requirements.
I know my website isn’t accessible and I want to redesign it with accessibility as a priority
Maintaining an accessible website is an ongoing and collaborative process. It is easiest and most cost-effective when considered at the very start of a project – from research and planning, through to design and development. We’ll work collaboratively with you to make sure accessibility is prioritised.
I want to build a culture of accessible thinking at work, but I don’t feel confident doing it myself
Accessibility is a big topic. We provide team training where we can answer all your questions, including: how people with disabilities use the web, why accessibility is important, how accessibility makes good business sense, and how to write digital content in an accessible way. This can be tailored to the specific needs of your organisation. Let’s have a chat about your requirements. Give Emma or Kate a call on 01223 328017 to discuss.
If none of these scenarios describes you, then we’re all ears! Let us know what brings you to our accessibility page today. Give us a call on 01223 328017 and let us know how we can help.
We’ve developed our own, open-source, accessible front-end starter kit – Amplify. Amplify was tested for accessibility during the W3C redesign project, so you can be confident your new website has accessibility baked in.
For all projects, we aim to meet WCAG level AA, but we like to go above and beyond where it makes good sense to do so.
Have you considered a accessibility review?
In our single-page accessibility review, our team of accessibility experts will identify where you have high-impact issues. We’ll explain the problems these cause for your visitors and offer recommendations on how to fix them. Use the review to start planning improvements.
Read about our accessibility reviewWhat our clients say
Studio 24’s work on this project is a shining example of how accessibility can be achieved without sacrificing design or usability.
I love the way Studio 24 work. I appreciate the expertise of the agency and the willingness to find creative solutions that they have demonstrated with a good measure of dedication. I feel we have the best partners for our project.
It was great to have a development partner that has a detailed know-how about accessibility. We got a platform, which is not only free of barriers but also easy to handle. It has a clear structure. As a screen reader-user, it was love at first sight when I used it for the first time.
Solution-focused, rather than sales focused. Studio 24 can be relied on to work very effectively with a wide range of stakeholders. Always personable and professional, they provide detailed plans of work and competitive pricing. Finally, they have responded promptly and ably to a range of non-functional requirements, sometimes with limited notice.
