Designing for Everyone
Creating websites that everyone can use with confidence.
A great website makes everyone feel welcome. It helps people find information, navigate with confidence, and easily complete what they came to do.
That’s why accessibility is built into every website I create. It’s not an extra. It’s part of creating a better online experience for everyone.
What it means
Accessibility is about creating websites that are clear, easy to navigate and simple to use, regardless of someone’s device, age, abilities or circumstances.
It means considering everything from navigation and content structure to colour contrast, keyboard access and mobile responsiveness, helping more people comfortably use your website.
Who it helps
Accessible, user-friendly websites create a better experience for everyone. It helps all users find information more easily and use your website with less frustration.
It can make a real difference for:
- Blind or low vision users using screen readers
- People with limited mobility who rely on keyboard navigation
- Neurodivergent users (e.g. ADHD, dyslexia, autism) who prefer clean layouts and clear content
- Older adults who may struggle with low contrast or small fonts
- ESOL learners who need plain English and logical headings
- Mobile users on small screens or slow connections
How I build with accessibility in mind
I’m not a certified accessibility specialist, but I build every site with inclusivity in mind. It’s not about perfection. It’s about removing barriers and making practical choices that help more people use your website with ease.
I specialise in custom WordPress (Divi) and Shopify builds that balance flexibility, clarity, usability, and accessibility.
Why it matters
Your website is often the first impression people have of your organisation.
If visitors struggle to find information, read your content or complete simple tasks, they may leave before taking the next step.
Designing with accessibility in mind helps more people access your information, builds trust with your audience, and creates a clearer, more welcoming experience for everyone.
While website accessibility is not currently a legal requirement for most businesses in New Zealand, expectations around usability and inclusive design continue to grow.
If your organisation wants to welcome and communicate clearly with more people, your website should too.
