Affordable Accessible
Website Design
For Non Profits
Making your website accessible is no longer just best practice, it is a vital step for reaching your community and service users. According to UK Government figures up to 20% of the population would benefit from an Accessible website. An Accessible website is a positive step in any grant funding application because all of the major funders clearly require it.
Heritage Lottery Fund: ‘No matter the size or type of your heritage project…You need to adhere to recognised accessibility standards so that as many people as possible can access your digital outputs’
Arts Council England: ‘…any organisation should have a reasonably Accessible website'
Up to 20% silently excluded
It’s not just screen reader users, there’s a range of visible and invisible conditions that require an Accessible website.
According to recent UK government figures up to 1 in 5 people in the UK are prevented from using your website without difficulty if it isn’t Accessible. Crazy! They’ll just go somewhere else and not leave with a great impression of you… it’s not expensive to fix this!
Funders like Accessible websites
Most major funders require you to have an Accessible website - regardless of the size of your organisation. The only barriers - cost and aesthetics - are no longer an issue. We’ll quote you for FREE and you don’t sign off on anything that isn’t aesthetically pleasing. That’s mobile, tablet and desktop ALL affordably Accessible.
An SEO boost with no extra work
Google Lighthouse measures your websites Performance, Accessibility, Best Practise and SEO.
Those four metrics inform each other they overlap. Google wants websites to have good performance, be Accessible, follow best practise and abide by a few SEO rules. It adds up to a better experience for your audience and Google advertisers!
With good SEO you’ll get more organic website visits from people who need your service. A lot of websites we measure have very poor performance scores. We can also advise on a Performance score because that too can be a relatively easy fix - and absolutely no-one likes slow websites.
As Future proof as possible
We don’t know what the future will bring but we do know that the W3C standards that underpin Lighthouse and Silktide won’t change soon. You’ll be future proof with W3C standards set to be the case through to 2029 or later. There’s no new standard just around the corner so your investment will be up to date for years. Plus WordPress and GeneratePress update their core Accessibility according to the same standards so even when the base standard eventually changes you’ll probably be up to date through normal FREE routine maintenance updates.
We offer an affordable, phased approach to website Accessibility. We measure Accessibility using the trusted global standards of the W3C via Google Lighthouse.
We can also evaluate your site against the W3C's WCAG 2.2 AA standards using Silktide, a platform trusted by over 40 UK City and County Councils.
Why Accessibility Matters more in 2026
For charities and social enterprises, an accessible website is essential for ensuring everyone can engage with your services.
Major grant providers—including the Heritage Fund, Arts Council England, and The National Lottery—now explicitly require website accessibility.
Accessible design also aligns with the UK Government Digital Inclusion Plan.
Our phased approach can allow you to gradually achieve website Accessibility on a low budget. Please get in touch with us for a FREE quote.

Our Story
How we discovered the need for Website Accessibility
We were involved in a large project that spanned eight groups of young people. Some of those groups had a variety of additional needs. We were tasked with working with these groups to produce websites about their everyday experiences, the good and the bad, triumphs and disasters.
It was the first time that we had to manage Website Accessibility. We learned all we could and put it into practise on the eight websites. We completed the project and tried to spread the word about Website Accessibility to our current and potential clients.
Whilst most clients were mindful of the need for Website Accessibility, very few would specify it because it was more expensive, it was hard to measure and the benefits were hard to define.
Skip forward to 2026 and things have changed for the better
- We've made website accessibility affordable.
- It is now easy to measure and
- The need to be inclusive is widely recognised.
