Accessibility & WCAG Compliance.

— FAQ

Common questions.

• Is WCAG compliance legally required?+

  For public sector bodies in the EU it has been mandatory since 2018. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) extends the obligation to many private sector products and services from June 2025. If you serve EU customers, compliance is increasingly a legal requirement, not just best practice.

• What is the difference between AA and AAA?+

  Level AA is the widely accepted legal and commercial standard — it covers the most common barriers. Level AAA goes further (stricter contrast, no time limits, sign language) and is typically required only for specific government or regulated contexts. We recommend AA as the baseline for most projects.

• Can you make an existing site accessible without rebuilding it?+

  Usually yes. Most accessibility issues are fixable through targeted code changes — ARIA attributes, focus management, colour tokens, semantic HTML. A full rebuild is rarely needed. We assess the remediation cost honestly in the audit.

• Do you provide an accessibility statement?+

  Yes. A conformance statement documenting the standard met, known issues and contact details for reporting problems is included in the final deliverable.

• Is everything listed above included in the fixed-price packages?+

  No — the deliverables above describe a custom project, where we scope the work around your goals and the design, build and revision rounds follow what the project actually needs. A package is a deliberately narrower slice of the same craft: defined scope, a set number of revision rounds and a fixed timeline, which is what lets us fix the price. Every package page lists exactly what it includes. Most of our work is custom — that’s where you get the deeper process and decisions made specifically for you.
