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.

Web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) 2.1

Accessible websites will be built to New Zealand accessibility standards and web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 for an optimal and inclusive user experience.

This includes:

  • Making sure colour contrast between text and background meets minimum requirements.
  • Ensuring that hyperlink names are meaningful.
  • Including appropriate alternative text for all non-text content.
  • Ensuring there is a language element on each page.
  • Including captioning and transcripts for multimedia.
  • Making forms and organisational documents, such as annual reports, accessible.

Daniella and the team have been amazing to work with. With design not being a strong suit for me, they were able to create an amazing website with little info from myself which made my life so much easier. The business is relaxed to work with and keep things simple. They are very well priced as well. If you are thinking about a website (As a business owner, you should give this serious thought) I would highly recommend Grow My Business.

Massive thanks to Daniella and the team at Grow My Business. They were great to deal with, very patient, and went above and beyond to help us create what was effectively two websites under one domain. We're stoked with the end result and couldn't be happier with our new website. Highly recommend!

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Grow My Business on the development of our new website. From the outset, the process felt streamlined and really well managed. The team took the time to genuinely understand Orchestra Wellington as an organisation, which brought a fresh and valuable perspective to the project. They struck a great balance between guiding us with best practice while still ensuring the final product felt authentic to who we are. We especially appreciated their block-based build approach, which has empowered our team to confidently take over day-to-day management of the site. That sense of ownership has been hugely valuable. Communication throughout was clear, responsive, and supportive, and the team themselves were an absolute pleasure to work with. A special thanks to Iona, Daniella, and the wider team for their care, professionalism, and collaborative approach. We’re really proud of the end result and would highly recommend Grow My Business to others.

Incredible to work with re-designing our website - speedy, easy systems to make comments on progress which were explained to us using video format, small enough that you get individual attention from dedicated staff, easily contactable and really got us!! Would highly recommend and will continue to use.

We recently used Grow My Business for the design and build of a brand new website for Critter. Having worked with them in my previous role, I knew they'd be a breeze to work with and that we'd be thrilled with the results – and we are. They worked with me to swiftly turn a homepage concept into a multi-page website that fits our early-stage needs perfectly, and were always responsive and helpful in response to our requests. As usual, I highly recommend working with Grow! Noush Isaac, Chief Marketing Officer, Crittersoft

We had a fantastic experience working with the Grow My Business team. They made the whole website build process easy, stress-free, and fast, taking our brief and running with it while adding valuable suggestions along the way. They stayed true to our brand, were open and responsive to feedback, and turned around edits quickly. Everything was delivered on time, with a professional and friendly approach throughout. Highly recommend!
