Accessible Web Design
We create accessible, custom websites shaped by inclusive design practices, helping businesses reach more people and create better online experiences.
Accessible web design means building a website that people can use whatever their access needs. Some of your customers have low vision or are colour blind. Some have reduced dexterity and use a keyboard instead of a mouse. Some are blind and use a screen reader, some are deaf or hard of hearing, and some are dyslexic or find it hard to hold their focus. These are just some examples. Truthfully, we are all different and unique, and that shouldn’t be limiting.
When a website isn’t designed with those needs in mind, people get stuck. They can’t read the text, can’t find what they’re looking for, or can’t fill in a form to get in touch or buy from you. Most won’t tell you about it. They’ll leave and go somewhere else. Designing for access needs means making sure people can read, navigate and use your whole website.
The standard for this is WCAG 2.2 AA, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C. It’s the standard we design and build to, and the one our accessibility audits test against.
Inclusive Web Design
A website is only as inclusive as the design and development decisions behind it, and there are a lot of them to get right. At Squee, accessibility is layered through the whole process, with each stage of design and development answering a different way people use the web.
We find out who your customers are and what they need from your website.
Colour contrast, text sizes and layouts are checked before anything is built.
Semantic code, and keyboard navigation that reaches everything a mouse can.
Checked by hand with a keyboard and screen reader before launch.
Ongoing checks, so new content keeps to the same standard.

Our in-depth process includes creating sitemaps, moodboards, and sketch designs before moving on to high-fidelity designs and prototyping. We then thoroughly test your site to ensure it performs flawlessly before going live. This keeps you involved every step of the way and results in a website you can truly be proud of.

The kick-off meeting is where we dive into your project, discussing your goals, vision, and any specific ideas you have for your website. We’ll cover key details such as design preferences, target audience, and functionality, ensuring we’re aligned from the start to create a website that truly reflects your business.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for it
I am absolutely delighted with the new website that Joe from Squee has built me. I needed someone who understood my vision and after the first meeting with Joe I knew he and squee needed to be the people who redeveloped my website. He listened to what I wanted and what I didn't and produced a full CMS so I could keep the website updated. He was quick to make changes throughout the development process and walked me through how to use the CMS. The pricing was clear from the start as well any additional work and ongoing support packages. I thoroughly recommend Joe and Squee to build your next project.
Thank you to Joe at Squee Web design for building me a brilliant website for my new business. From the initial meeting, through to finished build, Joe has listened to my needs and acted on any request I made. All in just a few months. The speed and quality of work was amazing. I am delighted with the finished product and will definitely be using Squee again.
When advising businesses on how to be inclusive of disabled people, it's very important that our own material represents accessibility and inclusion. Joe Collett worked alongside me to develop our preexisting website to become something that truly reflected our values towards disabled people. Joe is a delight to work with. He is fun, passionate, considerate and talks in a way that makes complicated development subjects easy to understand.
Joe is doing web design and maintenance for GreenArt and once again, I am delighted with the work he has delivered. Joe is a pleasure to deal with and always goes above and beyond for his clients.
Thank you to Joe for updating our website at GB Solutions! It is so much better. The whole process was made really simple & Joe was really helpful. Joe created the design, and layout, so that it is so much more user friendly. I couldn't recommend Joe enough. If you're looking for a new website then 100% get in touch with Squee Design
After talking with Joe Collett and realising how useless accessibility plugins can be, it was clear our website was not inclusive at all! Thanks to Joe, we've now taken our first step by offering the ability to browse our menu with your keyboard. It seems like a small addition to the user experience but it's a big step for me that I am proud we are taking as we aim to make our website more accessible and inclusive following the WCAG Guidelines.
Here to help you
Yes. Where the underlying structure is sound, we audit, prioritise and remediate the failures in place. Where the problems are structural, rebuilding usually costs less than repeatedly patching, and we will tell you which of the two you are looking at before you commit to anything.
Yes, if your website needs to meet the EAA requirements, we can support you with audits, accessible design, and ongoing advice.
Yes, we do! While we provide web design services in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire we work remotely, which means we can support businesses across the UK. If you’d prefer a face-to-face meeting, we’re happy to travel within Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Bristol, Oxford, Swindon, Bath, and their surrounding areas.
Not at all. Accessible websites improve the overall design by prioritising clarity and usability. Factoring in accessibility ensures features like clear navigation, readable text, and good colour contrast, which not only make the site usable for people with disabilities but enhance the experience for all users. This creates a better, more inclusive website without compromising on aesthetics.
The cost can vary widely depending on your project’s size, complexity, and specific needs. Generally, prices start from £3000 for basic websites and can go up towards £15,000 for more feature-rich solutions. We’re happy to provide a detailed quote after learning more about your requirements.
WCAG 2.2 is the current version, published by the W3C in October 2023. It builds on 2.1 and adds nine new success criteria. UK public sector websites are monitored against WCAG 2.2 AA. For private businesses, the Equality Act 2010 doesn’t name a version, so 2.2 AA is the sensible benchmark and the one we work to.
We try to prevent this from ever being an issue by taking the time to fully understand your business, competitors, goals, and the style you want for your site before we even begin. This includes creating mood boards, sitemaps, and sketchpad drawings to ensure we’re aligned before starting the full design process.
We’re very confident you’ll be delighted with the final result, but if you’re unsatisfied after the third round of design iterations, we will offer you a full refund.
Look for an agency that names the standard it works to, tests by hand with a keyboard and screen reader rather than relying on an automated scan or overlay plugin, and can show you finished sites and audits. Squee is a UK web design studio that works to WCAG 2.2 AA as the baseline on every project, and we are members of the IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals).
