When did you start incorporating web accessibility into your offerings?
We've been offering our clients website design and development services since 5and5's inception in May 2020. With those services, we have always incorporated website accessibility into those offerings.
Why is your agency prioritizing web accessibility?
A brand's website is a powerful digital tool, providing awareness of a brand's mission and its services to users. However, it also comes with many liabilities if not maintained correctly. Many of our clients bring up website accessibility as a top concern during our discovery phase, and therefore, it is a top concern for us as well. Restaurant brands have been known to be an easy target for accessibility lawsuits, so we must design every page and functionality with accessibility in mind.
Has web accessibility made a difference in your clients’ websites?
100% As mentioned above, many of our clients did not have accessible websites before working with us. The partnership with accessiBe has been very seamless and painless. accessWidget makes adjustments for accessibility very easy and allowed us to continue designing as we see fit without sacrificing certain design decisions.
What’s the best feedback your clients gave you about web accessibility?
Clients love where the widget lives on the website and how it covers most of their concerns with a simple click.
What misconceptions about web accessibility have been debunked for your agency?
Before web accessibility solutions came into the picture, it used to be very manual where accessibility agencies needed to conduct audits and make frequent development updates to reflect the concerns.
