Website accessibility at spareday
Help people read, navigate and get in touch.
A clear label, visible keyboard focus or a more readable colour can change whether someone can use a page. Accessibility work starts with the people and tasks the website needs to support.
spareday provides website accessibility fixes in Newcastle. We agree the pages and journeys to review, identify barriers and scope practical improvements, with further specialist assessment identified where needed.
What’s included
A defined review, fixes and a second check.
The scope names the pages, customer actions and checks involved. An automated scan helps find some issues, while using the site with a keyboard and assistive technology can reveal others.
- Reading and navigation
- Review headings, text contrast, zoom behaviour and how people find their way through the agreed pages.
- Images and controls
- Check meaningful image descriptions, control names and visible keyboard focus where relevant.
- Forms and enquiries
- Review field labels, instructions, errors and the route to a successful confirmation.
- Fixes and remaining findings
- Implement the agreed changes, recheck them and document issues that need additional work.
How it works
Test the tasks a visitor needs to complete.
Opening a page is only the start. Finding a service, opening a menu and completing an enquiry are useful journeys to include in the review.
- Set the review scope
- Name the pages, journeys and relevant accessibility standard, including any existing audit findings.
- Identify the barriers
- Combine appropriate automated checks with manual use of the agreed pages and controls.
- Fix and review
- Make the scoped changes while checking their effect on the surrounding layout and functionality.
- Record the result
- Recheck the changed journeys and distinguish resolved issues from limitations and work still needed.
What a check can prove
Be specific about the pages and checks covered.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, or WCAG, provide a standard for assessing web accessibility. The relevant version, level and evaluation scope need to be named before a conformance claim can be considered.
The W3C accessibility evaluation guidance explains why a tool alone cannot establish that a site is accessible. A passed scan or a set of targeted fixes is not a complete conformance assessment or legal certification.
Existing websites
Start with the barriers, then assess the platform.
Some improvements can be made in a shared template and reach many pages. Others depend on the content, a booking tool or a component supplied by someone else. We check what can be changed and explain any limits before agreeing the work.
Accessibility can be considered alongside website speed and a broader website design project. The scope should keep those outcomes distinct so you can see what has actually been checked.

A few practical details
Before we get started.
Does fixing accessibility mean rebuilding the website?
It depends on the barriers and the platform. Some issues are targeted edits; others need deeper changes or support from the provider of an embedded tool.
Can an automated score prove the site is accessible?
No. Automated checks cover part of the review. Manual evaluation and the relevant customer journeys remain necessary.
Can you guarantee legal compliance?
No. This service scopes technical review and improvements. If you need legal advice or a formal conformance assessment, that requirement needs to be discussed separately.
What happens to issues that cannot be fixed in this scope?
They should remain documented with the affected page or component and the further work or provider involvement needed. They are not counted as resolved.
What should we send for a quote?
The website address, any known difficulty using it, existing audit findings and the journeys you need assessed. Include the device or assistive technology involved where known.
