Government Website Design in Cardiff
Government and public sector websites for Cardiff bodies, where accessibility is a legal duty rather than a quality target. Public sector sites must meet the accessibility standard and publish a statement in a prescribed form saying exactly what does not comply and why — and that statement is checked.
Why this comes up
The problem
The accessibility statement was written once, names no actual barriers, and the service it describes has been rebuilt twice since.
What you get
What we deliver
- The accessibility standard met and evidenced through testing, including with users
- An accessibility statement that is accurate, dated and maintained as things change
- Established design patterns used, since citizens already know how they behave
- Content written for the lowest reading age that needs to use the service
- Transparency publications organised so the required information is genuinely findable
- Assisted digital routes described, because not everyone can complete a service online

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Government Website Design in Cardiff — common questions
- What do the accessibility regulations require?
- That public sector websites and apps are perceivable, operable, understandable and robust to the specified standard, and that a statement is published describing compliance, listing non-accessible content with reasons, and telling people how to request an alternative format or complain.
- Is automated testing enough?
- No. Automated tools find a minority of issues and none of the ones that matter most — a form that cannot be completed with a screen reader, or a process that assumes a mouse. Testing with disabled users is what separates a compliant site from a usable one.
- Why use the established patterns?
- Because familiarity is accessibility. Citizens encounter these components across dozens of public services, and a bespoke date picker or a novel navigation forces every user to learn something new for no benefit to anyone but the designer.
- What does writing for public services involve?
- Removing everything that assumes prior knowledge. Statutory language, department names and internal process terms all mean nothing to the person trying to report a problem or claim something they are entitled to, and plain wording is what determines whether they complete the service or telephone instead — which costs the organisation many times more.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
