Accessibility Services


Accessibility aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines

At iWorks, we design and improve websites with accessibility in mind, helping organisations create digital experiences that are inclusive, usable and robust. We carry out accessibility audits, identify practical issues, and implement improvements aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.

Our approach focuses on real-world usability, not just automated testing.  

What We Do

  • Accessibility Audits: Auditing websites and web applications to identify accessibility issues affecting usability, structure, contrast, navigation and interaction.
  • Accessibility Remediation: Fixing identified issues, including colour contrast problems, heading structure, navigation clarity, form usability and other barriers to access.
  • WCAG-Aligned Improvements: Applying practical updates in line with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines, without unnecessary complexity.
  • Manual and Automated Testing: Using tools such as WAVE and Lighthouse alongside manual testing to assess accessibility more effectively.
  • Ongoing Accessibility Support: Helping organisations maintain and improve accessibility over time as their websites evolve.   

Our Accessibility Approach

We believe accessibility should be practical, honest, and built into the development process from the outset. Some issues can be resolved quickly through content, styling and structure updates, while others may require deeper theme or template-level changes. Our goal is to deliver meaningful improvements that enhance accessibility for users while strengthening the overall quality of a website.

This approach is particularly valuable for organisations with existing WordPress or bespoke websites that need to improve accessibility without undertaking a full rebuild.
  

Areas We Commonly Improve

  • Colour contrast and readability
  • Heading structure and page hierarchy
  • Link clarity and button labelling
  • Image alternative text
  • Keyboard navigation and focus visibility
  • Forms, labels and error handling
  • Navigation menus and user journeys
  • General usability across desktop and mobile devices 

Accessibility as Part of Better Web Design

Improving accessibility often improves the overall quality of a website for everyone. Clearer navigation, stronger contrast, better form design and more consistent structure can make a site easier to use across all devices and for all users.

At iWorks, accessibility can be considered as part of a new website build, an upgrade to an existing platform, or a focused review and remediation project for an established site.
