Accessibility Roadmap

Turn accessibility findings into a prioritised plan: what to fix first, what can wait, and how to build accessibility into delivery instead of retrofitting it.

Fixed Price

Designed for

  • One website or digital product
  • Existing accessibility findings, audits or complaints
  • Prioritisation across teams and backlogs
  • Accessibility planning before delivery
  • Two-week engagement

Need something different? Larger or more complex projects are usually better suited to a bespoke engagement.

How do I know if my project is the right fit?

What an accessibility roadmap actually is

An audit tells you what’s wrong. A roadmap tells you what to do about it.

An Accessibility Roadmap turns accessibility findings, whether audits, complaints, known issues or informal concerns, into a prioritised, practical plan your team can actually deliver.

Rather than treating every issue as equally urgent, the engagement identifies what should be fixed first, what can wait and how accessibility can be built into ongoing delivery instead of retrofitted at the end.

You’ll leave with a clear sequence of improvements, agreed priorities and a plan your team can put straight into their backlog.

Common problems

01

You have findings but no plan

An audit or review identified issues, but nobody agreed what should happen next.

02

Everything looks equally urgent

Long issue lists stall delivery because teams can’t tell the critical from the cosmetic.

03

Accessibility keeps being retrofitted

Issues are fixed after release rather than prevented during design and development.

04

Compliance pressure is growing

Legal, procurement or reputational risk means accessibility now needs a credible plan.

Why work with me

A hundred-item issue list fixes nothing. A sequenced plan does.

Many organisations commission accessibility audits and then struggle to act on them, because findings arrive without priorities, owners or a realistic delivery sequence.

I combine accessibility, UX and product thinking to rank issues by user impact, severity and effort, and to show where accessibility belongs in your existing design and delivery process.

You’ll leave with a roadmap your team can deliver, not another report that sits in a drawer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you need from us to build the roadmap?

Any existing accessibility evidence: audit reports, issue lists, user complaints, support tickets or informal concerns. The more evidence available, the stronger the roadmap. If you have no findings at all, an Accessibility Review is usually the better starting point.

Is this the same as an Accessibility Review?

No. An Accessibility Review identifies barriers in your product. An Accessibility Roadmap takes findings you already have and turns them into a prioritised, deliverable plan. Many organisations run the review first and the roadmap second.

How do you decide what gets fixed first?

Priorities are based on user impact, severity, compliance risk and implementation effort, not simply on the order issues were found. Barriers that block important tasks come first.

Can our internal team deliver the roadmap?

Yes. The roadmap is designed to be practical enough for internal design and development teams to deliver, and the issue register is structured for backlog planning.

Where are you based?

I’m based in Manchester, UK and work with organisations across the UK, Europe and internationally. Most projects are delivered remotely, although I’m happy to travel for workshops, stakeholder sessions and key project milestones where required.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Most projects are delivered remotely using Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Zoom. Working remotely allows me to support organisations across the UK and internationally while remaining flexible and cost-effective.

Will I work directly with you?

Yes. Every project is delivered by me. If additional specialist support is ever needed, I’ll discuss it with you first, but you’ll always work directly with me throughout the project.

Can you work alongside our existing team?

Absolutely. Many clients already have designers, researchers, developers or product managers in place. I can provide additional capacity, independent advice or senior support without disrupting the way your team already works.

Do you only work with large organisations?

No. I’ve worked with startups, SMEs, agencies, charities, public sector organisations and global enterprises. Every engagement is tailored to the size, complexity and goals of the organisation.

What if my project doesn’t fit one of your fixed engagements?

The fixed engagements are designed around the most common types of engagement. If your project requires something different, I’ll create a bespoke proposal based on your goals, timescales and scope.

How quickly can you start?

Availability varies throughout the year, but many fixed engagements can begin within one to two weeks. If you have an urgent requirement, let me know and I’ll always do my best to accommodate it.

Do you sign NDAs and work with confidential information?

Yes. Much of my work has involved commercially sensitive products, government services and confidential research. I’m happy to sign NDAs and regularly work with organisations where confidentiality is essential.

Previous feedback

I had a fantastic experience working with Andy. One of his most impressive achievements during our time at NHS HEE was masterminding a deeply complex information architecture for a new platform that brought together a large number of legacy websites.
