FREE Access Audits!

‘Tis the season to be jolly (fa la la la la e.tc.)

So, Christmas is once more approaching and we are feeling all warm and generous and yummy here at Access-by Design.

To mark the festive season we are giving away a FREE access audit – normally worth £50!

We don’t mean that will pop your website url into some random, automated accessibility test and provide you with a simultaneously vague, yet cryptic list concerning such oddities as mark-up and user-agents. We mean that you website will be tested by (gasp) a REAL person who  then provide you with simple and effective ways to improve any problem areas your site may have.

This is offer is NOT for Access-by Design clients (who ought to already be pretty flippin’ accessible unless our company needs a serious name change) but for ANY businesses and individual with a website. We are not offering this to filch other designers clients, get you onto our mailing list or find some dodgy way of making you pay us some money for ‘extras’.  This is something we do all year round (usually for £50) but if you have read anything on this website, you will know that we care and hope for a FULLY ACCESSIBLE internet one day. This little gift might help a few more website do that…

We GUARANTEE we can improve accessibility on your website!
