Website Accessibility Compliance
What We Do
Website accessibility is no longer optional for modern businesses. An accessible website ensures that people of all abilities can access, understand and interact with your content. It also reduces legal risk, improves usability and enhances overall website quality.
At Bottrell Media, we provide professional website accessibility compliance services for businesses that want to meet accessibility standards while improving user experience for everyone. Our approach focuses on practical improvements, WCAG compliance guidance and ongoing support to ensure accessibility is maintained over time.
Whether you are auditing an existing website or planning accessibility improvements as part of a redesign, our website accessibility compliance services are designed to deliver clarity, confidence and long term compliance.
Website Accessibility Audits
The first step towards accessibility compliance is understanding how accessible your website currently is. Many accessibility issues are not visible to business owners but can create significant barriers for users.
Bottrell Media provides comprehensive website accessibility audits to identify issues and prioritise improvements.
Our website accessibility audits include:
- Review of website structure and navigation
- Assessment of keyboard accessibility
- Evaluation of colour contrast and readability
- Review of images and alternative text
- Form accessibility and usability assessment
An accessibility audit provides a clear overview of where your website meets standards and where improvements are required.
WCAG Compliance Guidance
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines provide the global standard for website accessibility. Understanding and applying these guidelines can be complex without expert guidance.
We provide WCAG compliance guidance to help businesses understand their responsibilities and options.
WCAG compliance guidance includes:
- Explanation of relevant WCAG levels
- Practical recommendations for compliance
- Prioritisation of high impact accessibility issues
- Guidance tailored to your website and industry
- Clear documentation and next steps
Our guidance focuses on achievable and meaningful compliance rather than unnecessary complexity.
Improving Usability for All Users
Accessibility improvements benefit everyone, not just users with disabilities. Clear navigation, readable content and logical structure improve overall user experience.
Bottrell Media focuses on improving usability for all users as part of our accessibility services.
Usability improvements include:
- Clear and consistent navigation
- Readable fonts and spacing
- Logical content structure
- Improved form usability
- Enhanced mobile accessibility
Accessible websites are easier to use, more intuitive and more effective at converting visitors into enquiries.
Accessibility Updates for Existing Websites
Many businesses already have established websites that were not built with accessibility in mind. Retrofitting accessibility is often achievable with the right approach.
We provide accessibility updates for existing websites to improve compliance without unnecessary rebuilds.
Accessibility updates can include:
- Adding alternative text to images
- Improving colour contrast
- Enhancing keyboard navigation
- Updating form labels and error messages
- Improving heading and content structure
These updates help existing websites move closer to accessibility compliance while preserving current functionality.
Accessibility and Website Performance
Accessibility and performance often go hand in hand. Clean code, clear structure and optimised content benefit both accessibility and speed.
We ensure accessibility improvements support overall website performance.
Performance aligned accessibility includes:
- Cleaner HTML structure
- Reduced unnecessary elements
- Improved mobile usability
- Faster page load times
This ensures accessibility improvements enhance rather than hinder website performance.
Accessibility for Mobile and Responsive Websites
Many accessibility issues become more pronounced on mobile devices. Touch navigation, screen readers and small screens require careful consideration.
Our accessibility compliance services include mobile accessibility review and improvement.
Mobile accessibility considerations include:
- Touch friendly navigation and buttons
- Readable text without zooming
- Logical content order on small screens
- Accessible forms and inputs
A mobile accessible website ensures usability across all devices.
Website Accessibility and SEO
Accessibility and SEO share many best practices. Search engines favour websites that are well structured, easy to navigate and clearly labelled.
We align accessibility improvements with SEO best practices.
SEO aligned accessibility includes:
- Proper heading hierarchy
- Descriptive link text
- Image alternative text
- Logical content structure
Improving accessibility can support better search engine visibility over time.
