Web Accessibility Audits, Upgrades & WCAG-Compliant Websites

Web-Accessibility-ireland

Now Offered by Egg Design

Web accessibility is no longer a “nice to have”. It’s a legal requirement, a usability standard, and a smart business decision.

At Egg Design, we now officially offer web accessibility audits, accessibility upgrades, and fully WCAG-compliant websites from scratch — building on the work we’ve already been delivering under the Fáilte Ireland Digital That Delivers (DTD) programme.

This isn’t a new interest for us. Accessibility has become a core part of how we design, build, and improve websites for Irish organisations.

Accessibility Work Through Fáilte Ireland (DTD)

Over the past 3-4 years, we’ve been working extensively with tourism businesses and visitor attractions under the Fáilte Ireland Digital That Delivers programme, helping them:

  • Bring existing websites up to WCAG 2.2 AA compliance

  • Fix real, practical accessibility issues (not just theoretical ones)

  • Produce compliant Accessibility Statements

  • Improve usability for all visitors, not just users with disabilities

  • Meet funding and future legal requirements with confidence

This hands-on experience means we understand what compliance actually looks like in the real world — especially for WordPress, Elementor, and WooCommerce sites.

What We Offer

1. Web Accessibility Audits (WCAG 2.2 AA)

We carry out practical, fix-focused accessibility audits for existing websites.
These audits identify:

  • Keyboard navigation failures

  • Screen reader issues (NVDA / VoiceOver)

  • Colour contrast and visual clarity problems

  • Incorrect heading structure and landmarks

  • Broken or misused ARIA attributes

  • Inaccessible forms, buttons, and menus

  • Plugin and theme accessibility issues

You receive a clear, prioritised report that explains:

  • What’s failing

  • Why it matters

  • Exactly how it can be fixed

No generic PDFs. No vague scoring systems.


2. Accessibility Upgrades (Fixing What Fails)

Unlike many agencies, we don’t stop at the audit.

We also carry out the remedial work, including:

  • Correcting HTML structure and semantics

  • Reworking navigation and menus for keyboard users

  • Fixing contrast, typography, and focus states

  • Making forms fully accessible

  • Replacing or reconfiguring inaccessible plugins

  • Updating templates and Elementor components

  • Implementing and validating Accessibility Statements

This is where most accessibility projects succeed or fail — and where our development experience matters.


3. Accessible Websites Built from Scratch

We also design and build new websites that are accessibility-ready from day one, rather than trying to retrofit compliance later.

That means:

  • WCAG-aware design decisions from the start

  • Clean, semantic markup

  • Accessible navigation and layouts

  • SEO-friendly structure

  • Performance-focused builds

  • Accessibility baked into UX, not bolted on

This approach is more cost-effective long-term and avoids expensive rework.


A More Affordable, Practical Alternative to “Audit-Only” Agencies

Many accessibility consultancies only provide audits.

They:

  • Hand over a long technical report

  • Don’t understand your CMS or theme

  • Don’t implement fixes

  • Leave you to source a developer separately

  • Often charge significant fees just for the audit

This creates delays, confusion, and extra cost.

Our approach is different.

Because we audit, fix, and build, we can:

  • Keep costs more affordable

  • Prioritise issues that actually matter

  • Implement fixes quickly and correctly

  • Avoid over-engineering or unnecessary work

  • Deliver measurable progress, not just documentation

For many clients, this results in better compliance at a lower overall cost.


Accessibility + SEO + Usability (Not Just Compliance)

Accessibility upgrades often lead to:

  • Better SEO performance

  • Clearer site structure for search engines

  • Improved mobile usability

  • Lower bounce rates

  • Better conversion rates

In other words, accessibility improves the site for everyone — including Google.


Who This Is For

We provide accessibility audits and upgrades for:

  • Tourism and hospitality businesses

  • E-commerce sites

  • Public-facing organisations

  • SMEs preparing for EU accessibility legislation

  • WordPress, Elementor, and WooCommerce websites

  • Businesses seeking Fáilte Ireland or grant compliance
