Got some questions?

Is Umbraco an accessible CMS?

Yes. Out of the box, our Umbraco sites provides a solid foundation for accessibility, including semantic markup and flexible templates. However, accessibility ultimately depends on how your site is built and the content you create. Our accessibility audits and development services ensure your Umbraco implementation meets WCAG 2.2 AA standards.

What does a WCAG 2.2 AA audit include?

Our audit reviews your Umbraco website against the latest WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria. You’ll receive a prioritised report covering issues, severity levels, and practical fixes written in plain English for developers, editors, and stakeholders alike.

Why is web accessibility important for my organisation?

Accessible websites reach more users, improve usability for everyone, and help avoid legal risks. They also enhance SEO and brand reputation. For public-sector or charity organisations, accessibility is often a legal and ethical requirement.

How do you make Umbraco templates accessible?

We build using semantic HTML, ARIA roles, and WCAG-compliant colour contrast. Components such as navigation menus, buttons, and forms are fully keyboard-navigable and tested with screen readers. We also provide guidance for editors to maintain compliance.

Can you help make my existing Umbraco site accessible?

Absolutely. We perform detailed accessibility audits, prioritise fixes, and can work directly with your in-house or external developers to resolve issues. We also offer training to help your team maintain compliance long-term.

Do accessibility improvements affect site performance or design?

Quite the opposite, accessible code is typically cleaner, faster, and more user-friendly. Good accessibility enhances both UX and SEO without compromising your design.

How often should I review accessibility on my Umbraco website?

We recommend a full accessibility review at least once a year, or whenever you make significant design or content updates. Accessibility standards evolve, and regular reviews help keep your site compliant and user-focused.

What are the benefits of choosing a Platinum Umbraco Partner for accessibility?

As a Platinum Umbraco Partner, we understand the CMS inside out. We combine accessibility expertise with deep platform knowledge, ensuring that compliance improvements integrate cleanly with your existing workflows and future Umbraco upgrades.
