Remediation by us
We fix what we said we could fix: templates, code, colour, focus states and forms on the sites we build and look after. Every fix is checked against the original finding, so nothing is marked done on trust.
Website accessibility
We build and audit websites against WCAG 2.2 AA.
For existing sites, we tell you what needs to change, who has to change it, and in what order.
Accessibility
Accessibility shapes every stage of the build.
It is not a check at the end. It decides how the site is organised, written, designed and tested, so it works for people using a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification or a phone in bright sunlight.
Where it shows up
Navigation
A clear structure, consistent menus and headings, and every part of the site reachable by keyboard.
Content
Plain language, link text that makes sense on its own, descriptive alt text and written captions on film.
Design
Colour contrast that passes, readable type, visible focus and buttons large enough to tap.
Testing
Automated scanning, then manual testing with a keyboard and a screen reader against WCAG, with the issues fixed before launch.
Why us
In partnership with Real Nation, who designed and ran the project, we built the National Disability Authority’s Someone Like Me Art Awards site and worked through their formal accessibility audit, issue by issue, until it passed.
What an audit is.
The triage is the part clients tell us they value. Knowing what is yours to fix and what is not is what turns a report into a plan.
- Every template, not a sampleWe scan each template and page pattern across the site, so a fault that repeats is found once and fixed once, not missed because it was on page four.
- Testing by handScanners miss what only a person finds. We test with a keyboard and a screen reader, and check focus order, forms and error messages, colour contrast, video captions and anything that moves.
- Measured against WCAG 2.2 AAThe current standard. If your obligation sits at 2.1 AA, we report against that too, so you can see where you stand on both.
- Findings sorted by who fixes themEvery issue is marked as ours to fix, your content team’s, or a third-party supplier’s, like a booking widget or a cookie banner. You get a plan with owners, not a long list.
- A retest once it is fixedWe check the fixes against the original findings, so you have a before and an after to show, not just a list.
What comes after the audit.
An accessibility statement
Drafted for publication and accurate to what the site actually does. It says what passes, what does not yet, and when it will be fixed, and we update it after each round of fixes.
Ongoing monitoring
Accessibility checks run as part of Care and Hosting, so a site that passed stays that way as pages, plugins and content change.
About Care and HostingWho the law actually covers.
Two separate EU laws, both in force in Ireland and often run together in agency copy. They are not the same, and neither of them says every Irish website must be accessible.
- The European Accessibility ActAn EU law, in force in Ireland since 28 June 2025 as S.I. No. 636 of 2023. It covers specific services rather than every website: online shops selling to consumers, consumer banking, e-books, electronic communications, audiovisual media services, and passenger transport websites, apps and ticketing. Service providers that are microenterprises, with fewer than 10 staff and a turnover or balance sheet of €2 million or less, are exempt from the service requirements. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is the enforcing authority for e-commerce.
- The Web Accessibility DirectiveCovers the websites and mobile apps of Irish public sector bodies, under S.I. No. 358 of 2020. They have to meet the EU standard and publish an accessibility statement, and the National Disability Authority monitors compliance. It does not apply to private businesses.
- The standard behind bothThe EU technical standard, EN 301 549, still points to WCAG 2.1 AA as the formal test. A new version, published in September 2026, moves it to WCAG 2.2, but the EU has not yet made it the legal reference. We test to 2.2 AA, so a site that passes is ready for either.
