If someone can’t use it, it isn’t finished.
I’m Troy. I build accessible websites for small businesses and community groups, and I audit the ones you already have. Prices you can see.
What most accessibility work misses
Most of the conversation is about screen readers, colour contrast and alt text. They all matter, and they’re all on my checklist.
But nothing makes me close a tab faster than not knowing what something actually costs. To find the real price, I have to add it to my cart. Then sign up for an account. Then get all the way to the card-details screen before the real number shows up.
That’s not a checkout. It’s an ambush.
So on every site I build:
Clear, upfront prices
No hunting, no sign-up wall.
Nothing plays until you choose
No autoplaying videos, animations or sound.
Forms that forgive mistakes
Clear labels, errors that tell you how to fix them, and nothing you’ve typed gets wiped.

Why accessibility is smart business
Good accessibility is good for everyone. It’s also one of the simplest ways to get more from the website you already have.
Built for real life
Most people visit websites in less-than-ideal moments: on a small screen in bright sun, one-handed on the bus, tired at the end of a long day, or simply in a hurry. An accessible site works in all of them.
Easier to find
Much of the work that makes a site accessible (clear headings, descriptive links, text descriptions for images) also helps search engines understand it.
Fewer lost enquiries
Cluttered pages, hidden prices and fiddly forms quietly cost you work. Fixing them makes things easier for every visitor.
Easier than you’d expect
Many improvements don’t need a new website. An audit shows what to fix first and what can wait.

Why I write my own words
Why every article on this site starts as my own handwritten note, and why I'll always encourage you to write in your own words.
My accessibility commitment
At Helands, accessibility is built into every design from the start, not added at the end. This site strives to meet WCAG 2.2 AA, and AAA wherever it’s feasible, and I keep improving it as the standards evolve.
