Designing for accessibility.
Designing for accessibility means creating websites that everyone can use—regardless of ability or disability. At WarmRed in Tunbridge Wells, we prioritise inclusive design that not only meets legal standards but also improves overall usability. Our accessible web design practices enhance navigation, readability, and interaction for all users. Moreover, accessible websites attract wider audiences and reflect a genuine commitment to inclusivity and social responsibility. Whether you’re starting a new build or improving an existing site, we work to ensure full WCAG compliance while maintaining a visually appealing and intuitive interface.

Designing for accessibility:
- Why it matters?:

Accessibility ensures your website functions effectively for everyone, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities.

Furthermore, search engines favour accessible sites, which contributes to stronger SEO rankings.

- Our approach:

Our process begins with an audit of your current website or planning accessibility from the ground up for new builds. We follow established accessibility standards and use both automated tools and manual testing methods. In addition, we collaborate with real users to identify pain points and improve experiences across devices.
