Our Accessibility Statement
Here's how we fold inclusive design into our business model.
Digital experiences should be meaningful and usable by everyone, regardless of ability, age, location, gender, circumstance, preference, cultural background, or other important criteria.
Every product, service, and decision at Mightybytes is measured not only by profit but also by the real social and environmental change it creates. The results of this measurement guide how we grow, reinvest, and share value with all our stakeholders.
The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.
— Tim Berners-Lee | W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web
Our Commitments
By prioritizing inclusive design throughout the life cycle of any project, Mightybytes creates accessible digital products and services that comply with recognized standards while serving a wider range of diverse perspectives and lived experiences.
Standards-Based
Accessible design is a prerequisite to inclusive design. All projects follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2) at the AA level, covering perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust criteria.
Diverse Perspectives
We encourage clients to consider a broad range of lived experiences to inform and co-create the digital products and services we design and build for them. This produces better solutions.
Tiered Testing
We conduct baseline accessibility compliance checks before delivery and provide options for more rigorous manual testing through a partnership with Access Living.
Continuous Improvement
Accessibility and inclusive design are built into our production workflows. We regularly review existing products or services to address emerging issues as they arise.

Risk
Standards compliance reduces legal risk and ensures digital products comply with regulatory requirements.
Reporting
Clients receive accessibility reports that quantify how our deliverables improve usability for people with disabilities.
Regeneration
Embedding accessibility and continuous improvement reduces future redesign costs and builds lasting relationships.
