Web Accessibility: Building Websites Everyone Can Use

An accessible website works for people with disabilities, older users and everyone in between. It’s the right thing to do — and it helps SEO.

An accessible site works for everyone — and ranks better too.

Accessibility means building a website that everyone can use — including people who are visually impaired, use a keyboard instead of a mouse, or browse with assistive technology. It’s both a kindness and good business.

Simple steps that help

  • Alt text on meaningful images.
  • Good contrast between text and background.
  • Keyboard navigation that works without a mouse.
  • Clear labels on forms and buttons.
  • Readable structure with proper headings.

Accessibility and SEO overlap

Many accessibility practices — descriptive alt text, logical headings, clean structure — are exactly what search engines rely on too. Doing right by users often means doing right by Google.

An accessible website doesn’t serve a minority — it serves everyone, better.

Build it in, don’t bolt it on

Accessibility is easiest when it’s part of the design from the start. We bake these basics into every build. Pair this with colour contrast and on-page SEO.
