An accessible web design agency
We can develop your website accessibility through our bespoke web design projects, digital auditing, and consultancy. Whether you want to improve the accessibility of your existing website or commission a new, accessible website design and build, we can help.
For health and social care clients, accessibility is essential for service-user wellbeing. For arts and culture clients, accessibility helps to invite audiences of all abilities. But accessible web design benefits all users, regardless of sector. It’s simply best practice!
Web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG)
The web accessibility standards provide a guidance for web design principles, offering three accessibility levels: A, AA, and AAA. We always employ at least AA standards across all of our web builds as a matter of principle. We can design AAA accessible websites for clients who need them.
Many organisations aim for AA, with some public sector organisations legally obliged to this standard, as this provides the best practical balance between user accessibility and design flexibility.
The difference between AA and AAA accessibility involves the addition of features such as sign-language translations and audio descriptions for all video content. This is why AAA standards are used when building websites specifically designed for disabled users who may not have their own accessibility software.
We take web accessibility very seriously. Over the past year, the Splitpixel SEO, design and development teams have been working on ways to build AA functions into our standard web builds to provide improved accessibility even when the requirement or budget for AA level is not there. We have taken great care to approach accessibility in a way that complements both design and SEO needs – for example, ensuring that H-tag usage for screen readers does not interfere with H-tag usage for copy optimisation (and vice versa), as well as providing complete flexibility over design and layout without impacting either.

Cimlogic Digital Services
An AA Accessible website design and development with ongoing digital marketing strategy and PPC management.
“At the beginning of the process, we had a clear vision for our new website, but were slightly daunted. With Splitpixel’s help it was not daunting at all. The integration with Spektrix was seamless and the support we received was outstanding. WordPress is easy to use and very flexible. Ultimately, we have a website that reflects Harrogate Theatre: is open, accessible and welcoming. Exactly what we set out to achieve.”
