Accessibility

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.

The team did a great job on our website. Really helped steer us in the right direction when we had no idea what we wanted/needed.

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.

We were referred to the team at Grow My Business when we decided we wanted to upgrade our website. They have been absolutely fantastic to deal with, providing us with some great new ideas, both in terms of the website design but also SEO management. They have also helped us to make sure our website is optimised the best it can be for search engines, which is something we’re particularly focussed on. Highly recommend.

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.
