Accessibility development

Implementing accessible code, UI components and fixes to improve usability and compliance.

At the inclusive approach, we specialise in developing accessible digital experiences that meet the highest usability and compliance standards. With a strong foundation in UI development, Henry has worked on numerous government services, ensuring they are fully accessible for everyone.

Why accessibility in development matters

  • Ensures compliance with WCAG and other legal standards like the European Accessibility Act (EAA)
  • Improves usability for all users, including those with disabilities
  • Enhances SEO and overall digital performance
  • Sites that are optimised for accessibility will perform better for AI agents like OpenAI’s “Operator”
  • Reduces technical debt by integrating accessibility from the start

Our approach

We embed accessibility into every stage of development, from initial code structure to final deployment, ensuring your website or application is inclusive by design.

1. Accessibility-first development

  • Build with semantic HTML, ARIA, and best practices
  • Ensure keyboard and assistive technology compatibility
  • Optimise performance for users with cognitive and mobility impairments

2. Component & design system accessibility

  • Develop fully accessible UI components
  • Audit and enhance existing design systems for accessibility
  • Ensure reusable components follow best practices

3. Remediation & accessibility fixes

  • Identify and resolve accessibility barriers in existing websites and applications
  • Provide clear, developer-friendly remediation guidance
  • Work alongside teams to implement fixes efficiently

4. Testing & validation

  • Conduct manual and automated accessibility testing
  • Test with real users, including those using assistive technologies
  • Perform regression testing to maintain accessibility over time

Deliverables

  • Accessible, standards-compliant code
  • Documentation and developer guidance for ongoing accessibility
  • Accessibility audits with clear action plans
  • Ongoing support for accessibility improvements
