Website Accessibility and Compliance Dubai
Make your website usable by more people and keep accessibility from drifting. A website can be accessible today and become less accessible tomorrow when someone adds a new form, changes a color, uploads an inaccessible PDF, publishes an image without appropriate alternative text, or introduces a new plugin. 10turtle provides website accessibility and compliance services in Dubai and across the UAE — we audit the live website, identify real barriers, fix issues in the underlying code and content, verify important interactions with assistive technology, and establish practical guidance for future updates.

What it is
What is website accessibility?
Website accessibility means designing and maintaining a website so people with disabilities can perceive, navigate, understand, and interact with it — including people who may use screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, magnification, alternative input devices, captions, and other assistive technologies. Accessibility can affect navigation, headings, links, buttons, forms, images, videos, tables, menus, dialogs, carousels, search, checkout, content, documents, and error messages.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) provides internationally recognized guidance for making web content more accessible. WCAG 2.2 is the current W3C Recommendation and builds on WCAG 2.1 with nine additional success criteria. For most commercial accessibility projects, Level AA is the practical target to discuss. The current 10turtle service covers accessibility auditing, code remediation, assistive technology testing, conformance reporting, content guidance, ongoing monitoring, and accessibility documentation.
What's included
What is included in website accessibility services?
Accessibility auditA review of the live website against relevant accessibility requirements using both automated and manual testing — covering structure, navigation, forms, images, contrast, focus, keyboard navigation, and screen reader behavior.
Code remediationFixes at the source for HTML structure, ARIA, keyboard behavior, focus management, color contrast, form labels, error messaging, heading hierarchy, link text, image alternatives, and interactive controls — not an overlay workaround.
Assistive technology testingKeyboard navigation and screen reader testing of relevant pages and workflows to identify problems automated tools may not detect.
Conformance reportingClear documentation of findings, remediation, remaining issues, testing performed, and recommendations — describing the actual work performed rather than unsupported claims of universal compliance.
Content guidancePractical guidance for editors publishing images, headings, links, tables, documents, videos, and new pages so accessibility becomes part of everyday publishing.
Ongoing monitoringRecurring automated scans, manual checks, new page and component review, regression testing, and accessibility reporting so new work does not undo previous improvements.
Accessibility documentationFindings, remediation records, testing methods, remaining issues, recommendations, content guidance, and conformance information you can share accurately with stakeholders.
How we work
Our website accessibility process
1Audit and baseline
We assess the live website using automated tools and manual checks to establish a clear starting point.
2Identify and prioritize barriers
We document issues across structure, navigation, content, forms, interactive elements, keyboard and screen reader behavior, contrast, focus, and mobile layouts, then prioritize by user impact, frequency, severity, and workflow importance.
3Remediate the source
We fix the underlying implementation rather than relying on superficial workarounds.
4Test with keyboard and assistive technology
We verify important journeys without a mouse and, where relevant, verify pages and flows with screen readers and other assistive technology.
5Recheck and document
Automated testing helps confirm certain issues are addressed. We provide clear documentation of findings, remediation, remaining issues, testing performed, and recommendations.
6Content guidance, monitor, and maintain
We provide practical guidance for ongoing content updates and recheck accessibility after meaningful website changes so new work does not undo previous improvements.
Why it matters
Keep accessibility from becoming a one time project
An accessible website should not be accessible only on launch day. New content, pages, plugins, campaigns, and functionality can all introduce barriers — the better approach is to establish accessibility as part of how the website is designed, maintained, and updated.
Real barriers fixed
Remediation changes code, components, content, forms, navigation, and interaction behavior at the source — not an overlay widget.
Verified with assistive tech
Keyboard and screen reader testing confirm that important journeys actually work for people who depend on those tools.
Documented and maintained
Clear documentation of what was evaluated and changed, plus ongoing monitoring so accessibility does not drift after remediation.
Who this is best for
Who website accessibility services are for
Best fit when
You have an existing website, serve a broad public audience, operate an ecommerce, healthcare, financial, professional services, education, or enterprise website, have received an accessibility complaint, need to improve WCAG conformance, serve customers in multiple markets, publish large amounts of content, have many editors, are redesigning an existing website, or need ongoing accessibility maintenance.
You might not need this
If the existing website has major structural accessibility problems, remediation may not always be the most efficient approach. A redesign can make more sense when the theme is fundamentally inaccessible, the design system needs replacement, the CMS implementation is outdated, the site has extensive technical debt, navigation needs restructuring, or components need to be rebuilt. The right decision should come from the audit. Also, an accessibility overlay is not a complete solution — genuine work addresses actual code, content, structure, and interaction behavior.
FAQs
Common questions about website accessibility
What does website accessibility mean?
It means designing and maintaining a website so people with disabilities can perceive, navigate, understand, and interact with its content and functionality.
What is WCAG 2.2?
WCAG 2.2 is the current W3C Recommendation for web accessibility. It builds on WCAG 2.1 and adds nine new success criteria.
Do you test against WCAG 2.2?
Yes. We can evaluate relevant website content and functionality against applicable WCAG 2.2 requirements.
Is automated accessibility testing enough?
No. Automated tools can identify many common problems, but they cannot evaluate every accessibility barrier. Manual testing and assistive technology testing are important parts of a meaningful accessibility evaluation.
Can you make my website WCAG compliant?
We can audit and remediate the website against the applicable WCAG requirements within the agreed scope. However, responsible accessibility work should not promise universal legal compliance or guarantee that a business will never face a complaint.
Can you fix accessibility issues in WordPress?
Yes. We can work on WordPress themes, plugins, custom code, content, forms, navigation, and other relevant areas.
Can you fix accessibility issues in Shopify?
Yes. We can review Shopify themes, custom sections, content, forms, navigation, product pages, and relevant integrations within the parts of the environment that can be controlled.
Do accessibility overlays make a website accessible?
No. An overlay cannot replace fixing the underlying code and content or testing the actual user experience with assistive technology.
Will accessibility changes alter my website design?
Sometimes. Many fixes are structural and may have little or no visible effect. Some issues, particularly contrast, focus visibility, text sizing, or component behavior, may require visual changes. We aim to preserve the existing design language where possible.
Can you test with screen readers?
Yes. Screen reader testing can be included for relevant pages and workflows.
Can you test keyboard navigation?
Yes. We can test important interactions without relying on a mouse.
Can you make Arabic websites accessible?
Yes. We can consider Arabic content, right to left layouts, typography, navigation, forms, and bilingual content structures.
Does accessibility maintenance need to be ongoing?
Yes. New content, design changes, plugins, applications, and code updates can introduce new accessibility barriers. Ongoing review helps prevent accessibility from drifting after remediation.
Can you guarantee that my business will never face an accessibility lawsuit?
No. No responsible provider can guarantee that. What we can do is evaluate the website against applicable accessibility standards, remediate identified barriers, document the work, and establish ongoing maintenance.
