Common Accessibility Mistakes We Fix
Over many projects, the same accessibility problems crop up again and again. The good news is that most are well understood and straightforward to put right once they are spotted.
Knowing the usual suspects helps you recognise them on your own site and understand why our audits focus where they do.
The Frequent Offenders
These issues appear on a large share of the sites we review, regardless of size or sector.
- Images with missing or unhelpful alt text.
- Low colour contrast on text and buttons.
- Form fields without proper labels.
- Removed focus indicators that strand keyboard users.
- Vague link text such as 'click here'.
How We Put Them Right
We prioritise fixes by impact, tackling the barriers that block whole journeys first, then working through the rest. Most of these issues are quick to resolve and prevent in future with the right habits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do these fixes usually take?
Many are quick wins resolved in hours rather than days. We give you a prioritised list so the highest-impact barriers are removed first, with the rest scheduled as part of normal maintenance.
