Accessible website fixes that go in the code, and stay there.
An accessible website starts with an empty findings list. We work through yours in the source code, worst blocker first. Every fix gets retested by keyboard and screen reader. Then we draft an accessibility statement that says exactly where your site stands.
“The entire process was seamless, easy, and incredibly user-friendly. They were patient and flexible with all the changes and back-and-forth... Most importantly, they absolutely nailed the brief.”
We draft an accessibility statement from the retest, add accessibility checks to the build, and hand over the log.

The long read
What fixing accessibility actually changes.
Making an accessible website is ordinary development work, done with care. This is where the effort goes, and where it stops.
01
Most findings live in a handful of components
An audit of 100 pages rarely finds 100 separate problems. It finds a menu, a form and a card, each repeated on every page that uses them.
So we fix the component. Fixed once, fixed everywhere, and the findings list drops by a template's worth at a time.

02
Overlay widgets leave the broken code underneath
Overlay widgets promise accessibility with one line of script. They add a toolbar and try to repair the page as it loads.
But the page underneath stays the same. A screen reader still meets the broken markup. And the toolbar is one more thing to learn for people who already have their own tools set up.
We remove overlays where we find them, then fix what they were covering.

03
A retest is the only proof a fix worked
A ticket marked closed is a developer's opinion. Done means retested: the same steps, the same assistive technology, and the expected result this time.
Anything that fails goes back in the queue. The log you receive shows each finding, the fix, and the retest that passed it.

04
The statement should say what's still broken
An accessibility statement is more useful than a pledge. A good one says what the site conforms to, says what's still broken, and gives people a way to report a problem and get an answer.
We draft it from the retest, so it reports where the site stands on the day it was written. It isn't a certificate. It stays accurate only if someone reviews it when the site changes.

We pick the platform that suits your business. Then we connect the
site to your booking system, your CRM and your ad accounts, so every
enquiry lands where your team already works.
“Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre
experiences outsourcing work to agencies... instead of needing
babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only
completely dependable but also gave us sound
suggestions on how to get better results.”

wins! They are great communicators, but more importantly, have got
awesome results with low lead costs.”

Questions
What people ask before we start fixing.
What you need to know before we start a conversation.
You need a findings list to work from. If you have a recent one from another provider, we start from it. If you don't, our website accessibility audit comes first and the fixes start from its report. Either way, the quote is fixed before any code changes.
Can we just install an accessibility widget instead?
We'd steer you away from it. An overlay doesn't change the underlying markup. The problems are still there for anyone using their own assistive technology. Fixing the source code is the answer that lasts, and it's one we can retest.
Will the fixes change how the site looks?
Mostly not. Labels, headings and tab order are largely invisible to sighted visitors. A contrast fix can shift a colour, and a visible focus ring is a deliberate change. We show you those before they go live, so nothing on your site changes without your yes.
Will the site be fully compliant afterwards?
We don't promise full compliance, because nobody honestly can. Every finding in scope gets fixed and retested, and the statement records what the site meets. New pages and content can bring new issues. That's why the build checks stay in after we hand over.
What does it cost?
Every fix job gets a fixed quote with line items after a free 15-minute call. We price the findings in scope, grouped by component. The number stays put as the list shrinks, and if the work takes longer than planned, that's our problem.
Does an accessible website rank better?
Some of the work helps search too. Clear headings, descriptive links and image text help search engines read a page as well as people. It's a side effect rather than the reason to do it. Still, it's a useful one, and nothing in an accessibility fix works against SEO.
Can you fix a site another studio built?
Usually, yes. WordPress, Shopify and custom-coded sites all take the same kinds of fixes. We confirm we can get to the source code before we quote. If the templates are past saving, we'll tell you straight and price a rebuild instead.
