Web accessibility

AbilityNet offers a wide range of services to help you ensure your website is easy to use and accessible to the widest audience possible - as well as complying with the law.  If you’re not sure of the importance of an accessible website, the overwhelming business case will convince you beyond any doubt.

Auditing and testing

We can audit your websites to ensure they meet accessibility standards. Providing audits since 2000, our expertise is based on everyday working with disabled individuals and the technologies they use.

A valuable service to compliment an audit is disabled user testing. Often described as ‘extreme user testing’ it's the perfect partner to a code audit. If your website works for disabled users you can be sure it will work for everyone else. Disabled user testing can deliver a 35% ‘usability bonus’ for all visitors.

Training

We can provide training for your developers, management and copy writers. Our courses cover why accessibility is important, who it affects and what you can do to make sure your website is usable by everyone. We’ve even got a Web team support service which will connect your developers to assistance when they have questions they need answering.

Website development

Of course, if you don’t already have a website, or are looking to have it redeveloped, our expert team of developers and designers can take your ideas and make them into a fully accessible and beautiful end product. See our Portfolio page for some of our previous work.

Covering the whole gamut of web services, we also provide Accessible PDF and other document creation, as well as PDF to accessible HTML conversion.

Our clients

We have worked with a huge range of clients to ensure their websites, electronic materials and software is accessible to disabled users. Virgin Atlantic, American Express, and Lloyds TSB number among them. Chris Davies, managing editor ba.com, commented:

"AbilityNet are the UK's leading disability and IT charity and British Airways has benefited from their expertise on several projects including accessibility audits and in-house awareness training."
