Grey-on-white looks tasteful to a designer and invisible to anyone over fifty.
Roughly 24% of UK adults have a disability. Most small business sites fail them on the same six things. I find those failures and fix them, for a fixed price, in days.
This opens an email to me with your address in it. You get a plain-English list of what's wrong within two working days. No obligation.
The 2026 WebAIM survey of a million home pages found the same six errors year after year. Every one of them is fixable without a redesign.

A screen reader says "image" and moves on. Your opening hours in a photo? Gone.
The box says nothing. Is it name, email, or card number? Keyboard users guess.
An icon with no text. Screen readers announce "link, link, link". Nobody clicks.
Same problem, higher stakes: it's usually the one that says "Book now".
New in WCAG 2.2: anything you tap needs to be at least 24 pixels. Most icon links aren't.
This is what a (usually £1500) £5 fix list looks like, run on a demo dental practice site with the usual faults. Every real report follows the same format: each fault, who it blocks, the standard it breaks, and the exact code change.
The booking button on the demo site is an icon with no text. A screen reader announces "button" and nothing else. Voice-control users can't say "click Book" because there's nothing to click by name.
<button onclick="book()"> <img src="calendar-icon.png"> </button>
<button onclick="book()" aria-label="Book an appointment"> <img src="calendar-icon.png" alt=""> </button>
Two attributes. Two minutes. The button now reads as "Book an appointment, button" and the icon is correctly marked as decorative.
Three passes, because each catches what the others miss. Automated (axe-core, the engine inside Chrome's Lighthouse) finds the mechanical faults: missing labels, bad contrast, no alt text. Keyboard only: I unplug the mouse and try to do everything you'd want a customer to do. Screen reader (NVDA): I listen to the page the way a blind visitor would. Automated tools alone catch roughly a third of real problems; the other two passes are where the rest come from.

Daniel Nkosi. I'm a university student in Manchester and I run AccessMend alongside my degree. I build with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Python, and I test with the same tools the big agencies use: axe-core, WAVE, Lighthouse and the NVDA screen reader.
I don't sell overlay widgets or "one-click compliance" plugins; they don't work and regulators know it. I fix the actual code, then I prove it with a re-test you can see.

The European Accessibility Act has been enforceable since June 2025 and the first court orders against retailers landed in 2026. In the UK the Equality Act already applies to websites, and larger clients increasingly ask suppliers for an accessibility statement before they'll sign. But most people fix their site for a simpler reason: a customer told them the booking form didn't work on their phone.
