Draft text, to be reviewed by PremiWeb before publishing.
A significant part of the population has some visual, hearing, motor or cognitive limitation, and we all go through temporary situations that make browsing harder: a broken arm, a screen in bright sunlight, a slow connection. An accessible website works well for all of them.
We explain what makes a website accessible, what the law says and where to start.
What makes a website accessible
Enough contrast between text and background, comfortable type sizes, organised headings, image descriptions, forms with clear labels and the ability to use everything with a keyboard alone. Done from the start, these cost almost nothing extra.
What the law says
The European Accessibility Act, now applied in Portugal, requires many digital products and services, including online shops, to meet accessibility requirements. The technical reference is WCAG level AA.
More customers, better ranking
Many practices that help people using assistive technology also help Google understand your site: well-structured headings, alternative text, fast pages. An accessible website reaches more people and tends to rank better.
How we work
We design with checked contrast, test keyboard navigation and validate every page with automated accessibility tools. If you want to know how your current site performs, get in touch.
