Independent accessibility and usability reviews for public sector organisations, charities and small businesses.
Why accessibility and usability matter
Over time websites often develop accessibility and usability issues as content and design change.
Public sector organisations in the UK are expected to meet recognised accessibility standards such as WCAG so that services and information can be used by everyone.
For businesses, usability directly affects how visitors interact with a website. When people struggle to read content, navigate pages or complete tasks, they are more likely to leave.
What a review looks at
The review focuses on how people actually experience a website. This includes how easily visitors can find information, how clearly content is presented, and whether key tasks can be completed without confusion.
Common issues include unclear navigation, inconsistent page structure, poor colour contrast, and elements that are difficult to use on mobile devices. These problems are often small on their own but can combine to make a website frustrating to use.
The aim is not to redesign the site, but to highlight practical improvements that make information clearer and easier to navigate.
