Website accessibility Services
Amflify Change
We contacted Jim and his team to audit our old website in preparation for a brand refresh and website redesign, and to do an accessibility audit after the redesign process. From the beginning of our collaboration, Jim was thorough and clear with his findings and provided additional support and advice where we had questions or follow up. His expertise and passion for accessibility came through in each step of the process. We’re thankful to Jim and his team for their support in ensuring our new website can be accessible to all and for setting up our organisation to continue producing accessible content going forward.Katie Northcott (she/her) – Communications Manager AMPLIFYCHANGE
Who can benefit from an accessibility audit?
These packages are suitable for all businesses, voluntary, education and public sector.
What standard will be used?
Your website will be checked against the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) which are considered the de-facto standard in relation to web accessibility.
Although these guidelines are not legally binding, they are likely to be the guidelines referred to when assessing whether or not you have taken steps to make your website accessible to disabled people.
Do you need your website or documents to be accessible to ensure your content is accessible to disabled people, to meet funding application requirements, or to secure your next contract? I can help.

Jim provided us with a comprehensive audit of one of the websites we manage allowing us to iron out all the accessibility issues that existed. The informal report was clear, complete and was obviously the result of a meticulous survey of the website. It was provided within days of requesting it.
