Making your website accessible for everyone

Web accessibility is like rolling out the welcome mat for everyone online.

It's about making sure that no one feels left out when they visit your website

Web accessibility is just like hosting a big party that you want everyone to feel comfortable at. It’s about designing, developing, and editing websites in a way that ensures everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, situational challenges, or even slow internet speeds, can easily interact with and access all the awesome stuff your website has to offer.

When done right, it’s like opening the doors wide and saying, “Come on in, everyone’s invited!”

There’s plenty more reasons

When websites are accessible, it empowers people with disabilities to navigate and interact with the digital world independently. No barriers here!

Inclusivity rocks

You want everyone to feel welcome, right? Website accessibility ensures that everyone can join in on the online fun. It’s about saying, “Hey, there’s a seat for everyone at this digital table!”

Boost your reach

By making your website accessible, you’re casting a wider net and reaching more people. Who doesn’t want a bigger audience for their awesome content?

Good vibes only

Accessibility is about spreading good vibes! When you prioritise accessibility, you’re sending a positive message that you care about all your users, and that’s a vibe we can get behind.

It boosts your SEO

Did you know? Accessibility features can actually boost your search engine optimisation (SEO) efforts. That’s right – making your website more accessible can also help more people find it online.

Legal eagle

Accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s often a legal requirement. By ensuring your website meets accessibility standards, you’re not only doing the right thing, but you’re also covering your bases legally.

Stay ahead of the curve

Accessibility isn’t just a trend – it’s the future. By getting ahead of the game and making your website accessible now, you’re setting yourself up for success down the line. So why wait?

Customer satisfaction 101

Happy customers are the best customers. By making your website accessible, you’re ensuring that all your visitors have a smooth and enjoyable experience. And happy visitors? Well, they’re more likely to stick around and come back for more!

Brand reputation

When you prioritise accessibility, you’re showing the world that your brand values diversity, inclusion, and equity. And that’s the kind of brand people want to support and shout about from the rooftops!

It's just the right thing to do

At the end of the day, accessibility is about fairness and equality. It’s about making sure everyone has an equal shot at accessing information, connecting with others, and participating in the digital world. And doing the right thing? That’s always a good look.

Shirin Bradfield

The best web agency I’ve worked with. Efficient, communicative and genuinely lovely people.

Way Finders

We recently had a new website built with Grow My Business. They were easy to deal with, listened and responded to our needs and we have had some great feedback from the new site. Referrals to our services since the new site have pretty much doubled since it went live – a fantastic response. They have also been great with anything we have required as far as after care goes too and ongoing updates.

Anthony Harach

Stress free company that do what they say they will do. Deliver to a high quality, on time and priced very fairly. Iv worked with at least 7 different Web development companies in Wellington and have never been satisfied with delivery and price. Ioana and her team score 10/10 and never made me feel like anything was a hassel when it came to our business needs. Great guidance in regards to client pathways, although we didn’t get it 100% first go, within 24 hours this was fixed to perfection. Don’t look further if you are looking for the best Web Design/Developers in town.

Omaka Lodge

There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe the outstanding interaction we experienced with Grow My Business.

Our existing website was 7 years old and in desperate need of being replaced. A mutual connection recommended Grow My Business, so we researched websites they’d created for other businesses, and came away impressed and wanting to know more.

After a bad experience with a previous developer who took our money and ran, we were nervous, but after meeting with Iona we realised we were in the safest and most professional hands possible. We gave GMB the go-ahead to create a new website for us without any strings attached, and what a fantastic website it is!

Iona and Daniella and team were outstanding to work with each step of the way – they quickly understood the essence of who we were and what we offered, and transferred this to a website that is professional, up-to-date and elegant. The whole process was an exceptional experience, and we can’t recommend Grow My Business highly enough!

Jade Cartwright

The whole team at Grow My Business completely blew us away with their outstanding service, deep strategic knowledge, and eye for design.

We knew to expect great things from this team, but we were truly amazed at the quality of work, and the beautiful website they created for us.

Thank you so much, Iona, Dani, Ben, Jason, and Kira! You guys are truly fabulous at what you do, and it shows.

Essi Airisniemi

Iona, Ben and the Grow My Business team are brilliant. We’ve worked with GMB on a few projects now and are always in awe of the design finesse, functionality and business smarts applied to every aspect of their work. On top of this, they’re quick to respond and action changes. I’m looking forward to collaborating with GMB on many more projects to come – they’re the best in business!

Admin CheckHome

Could not recommend these guys any more. We have been working with them for a year now and both Ben and Iona have been amazing. All emails and requests are actioned so quickly.
We have had a really positive experience.

Michelle Henry

Creative. Professional. Solutions based. What more could you ask for in a web-designer?
Over the years, I have had many a website built. This was the easiest process yet! They took the brief, drafted a concept and once approved, it was smooth sailing. They even came up with a few imaginative ideas to make the site more interesting and engaging. We (WiseNav) couldn’t be happier with the result.

Renée Rowland

We loved working with Grow My Business, they understood the mission, took it up immediately and worked quickly to produce what we needed, even when we were really vague and didn’t really understand all the things we needed. Never patronising or impatient, always respectful and responsive and ultimately delivered a website that continues to exceed expectations. Can’t reccommend them highly enough.

Tatum Steers

Found GMB through a recommendation on LinkedIn. Iona and the team did not disappoint. They were wonderful to deal with throughout the entire process of designing our new website and post delivery continue to be just as responsive as they were on day 1. It’s been a pleasure working with them and would definitely recommend their services to others.

Emily Lake

A great experience from start to finish working with Grow My Business. I needed a small website turned around really quickly and the team delivered on time and on budget. They walked me through the process and answered all my questions in language I could understand. Really happy with the end result and would work with them again in a heartbeat.
