Accessible websites
There are over 10 million people living with a disability in the UK alone (source: DLF). If your website is not at least AA compliant, you are denying them the same experience that a non-disabled user enjoys. This is immoral, potentially illegal, and furthermore you are losing customers.
Types of disability
Users may, for example, have a visual impairment (eg blind, poor eyesight, colourblind), a hearing impairment, physical problems (need to use assistive technology, cannot use a mouse to navigate, etc), dyslexia, suffer from motion sickness, epilepsy or ADD, or have a learning disability. Many live with a combination of these.
Are there other advantages?
By making your website compliant, you will also find that the navigation will be improved for all your customers, and you may also discover that your website will be ranked better by Google and other search engines.

So what will XSIBL do?
We will audit your website, explaining where it fails accessibility testing, and how you can fix it. You should then take the audit to your in-house team or agency for them to make the necessary improvements. XSIBL will then, at a time convenient to you, retest the site to ensure that it now passes.
