WCAG 2.2 Website Accessibility Audits and Remediation for Irish Businesses
We help Irish businesses meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards, reduce legal risk, improve SEO performance and ensure their website works for every user.






Web Accessibility Is No Longer Optional
Web accessibility is now a legal requirement under the European Accessibility Act, which came into force for private sector businesses in June 2025. Non-compliance carries legal and reputational risk. Beyond compliance, an accessible website performs better on Google, converts more visitors and serves a wider audience, including the 15% of the global population living with a disability.
Accessibility Audit:
We conduct a comprehensive audit of your website against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria, identifying every instance of non-compliance across contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, form labelling and more.
Prioritised Remediation Plan
You receive a detailed, prioritised fix list that maps every identified issue to the relevant WCAG criterion, explains the required fix and ranks issues by severity and impact.
Technical Implementation
Our developers implement all required fixes using semantic HTML, ARIA roles and labels, accessible form patterns and keyboard-navigable interactive elements, all aligned to WCAG 2.2 AA.
Validation, Testing and Sign-Off
We run a full post-remediation audit using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation and automated compliance tools to confirm full WCAG 2.2 AA compliance before sign-off.
Accessible to Every User
An accessible website works for users with visual, motor, cognitive and hearing impairments. Approximately 1 in 6 people in Ireland live with a disability. Accessibility means more of your audience can engage with your content and convert.
Accessibility Improves SEO and User Experience
Accessibility improvements including semantic HTML structure, proper heading hierarchy, descriptive alt text and keyboard navigability directly improve your site's technical SEO performance and overall user experience.
WCAG 2.2 and EU Regulatory Compliance
The European Accessibility Act requires many businesses to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards by June 2025. We ensure your website is compliant, documented and prepared for audit.
Stronger Brand Reputation Through Inclusive Design
Businesses that prioritise accessibility demonstrate genuine inclusion. This builds trust with a broader audience, differentiates you from competitors and signals corporate responsibility.

“Effector has been a strong day-to-day partner across DID and Select, providing valuable expertise and the ability to activate multiple campaigns quickly and efficiently. Their work has helped to enhance our digital campaign performance, conversions and improved results across both brands.”
“Working with Effector over the past few years has been a genuinely positive experience for our team. They’ve supported us across both paid ad campaigns and organic content, and consistently bring a high level of professionalism and insight to everything they do.
What stands out most is how communicative and responsive they are. They really listen to our feedback and take it on board, which makes the whole process feel collaborative. They’re quick to respond, proactive with ideas, and always willing to adapt when needed.

I had a fantastic experience working with Effector. As someone completely new to the process, I really valued the time, patience, and support they gave me every step of the way. They took the time to understand my business and brought great creativity and ideas to the table. The end result is a professional website that truly reflects what I do and delivers exactly what I needed. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend them.
Working with Effector was a great experience from start to finish. They built us a website that is clean, professional and really easy for our team to keep up to date. The whole project was well managed, they hit every deadline and nothing was ever too much trouble. Since launching the new site we have had really positive feedback from customers and we have noticed a clear improvement in the enquiries coming through online. If you are thinking about a new website, Effector are the team to call.

Our experience working with the Team from Effector on our website was very positive. They listened, they were very patient and explained in lay man’s language how the process works. They are there when needed for questions and support and made the transition to our new site seamless.”
We could not be happier with the website Effector built for us. From the very first conversation they took the time to understand our brand and what makes Gorditas special. The finished site looks exactly like us, it is easy to navigate, the shop works perfectly and our customers have commented on how much they love it. The whole process was smooth, they kept us in the loop at every stage and the training at the end meant we felt confident managing it ourselves straight away. We would highly recommend Effector to any small business looking for a website that really represents them.
Effector provide great, responsive support whenever we need it – they have been with me every step of the way as we have built our website and were integral to building our Members’ Resource Hub. Effector always take the time to meet with me and the team and go through anything we may need – its great to have a web developer that is so responsive and grows with us.
I worked with Effector in the development of a new website for County Longford Golf Club. I found working with the Effector team a great experience as through collaboration the handover process was seamless and we can now manage content updates easily. Effectior also supported SEO and marketing training for us which closed the knowledge gap that we had in those areas. I’d be happy to recommend Effector for future projects.
