The decision
Accessible website design reduces barriers for people using keyboards, screen readers, zoom, alternative input methods or different visual abilities. Good accessibility also improves clarity, maintainability and semantic structure for everyone.
How the work holds together

Structure first. Visual polish with a reason.

01 / Prioritize

Accessibility is a design-system responsibility

Buttons, links, forms, headings and interactive components should behave consistently across the site. Fixing the reusable component prevents the same accessibility problem from repeating on every page.

02 / Protect

Automation cannot replace human review

Automated checks can find many technical issues, but meaningful labels, reading order, content clarity and real interaction still require human judgment and testing.

Questions

Before this becomes a scope.

01How does SiteGuys approach accessible website design?+

We start with the business goal, search intent, proof requirements and conversion path, then design the page structure and development approach around those needs. The visual system stays consistent while the information architecture changes for the project.

02Will the website be mobile-friendly and search-ready?+

Yes. Responsive behaviour, semantic HTML, crawlable navigation, metadata, internal linking, sitemap output and performance-minded implementation are part of the website foundation.

03Can SiteGuys work with an existing website?+

Yes. We can redesign, migrate or improve an existing website when preserving useful content, URLs or search equity is more valuable than starting completely from scratch.

04Is the website review and quote free?+

Yes. A SiteGuys specialist reviews your needs and provides a free, no-obligation recommendation and quote. No deposit is required to request a review.

05How much does a website cost?+

A focused one-page website starts at $499 CAD. A typical five-page business website is approximately $1,499–$2,500 CAD. Larger projects are priced after we agree on the pages, content and features. Your written quote confirms the final price before work begins. Applicable taxes are additional. SiteGuys serves businesses in Canada and the USA. More pages, custom design, special features or moving an existing site can increase the price. Hosting, paid software and optional ongoing care are listed separately.

06Will I have a dedicated Project Manager?+

Yes. Every customer has a dedicated human Project Manager to coordinate planning, content, feedback, development, launch and handover. Optional ongoing support can be arranged separately.

07How do payments work?+

Under our standard payment option, after the written scope is agreed, 50% is paid in advance to begin. It is refundable if the agreed work has not begun and non-refundable once work begins, subject to applicable statutory rights. The final 50% is due after completion of the agreed scope and before launch, handover or release of agreed files and access. Easy monthly payment options are available. Ask us about a payment schedule for your project. For an agreed monthly plan, payment dates, launch and handover arrangements are set out in your written proposal.

08Do I own my website?+

The written proposal identifies ownership and transfer of the website, agreed source files, domain and accounts. Third-party software and licensed assets remain subject to their own licences. Optional care is not automatically required; any required service dependency is disclosed before approval.
