Our code review service goes beyond just pointing out issues. We provide detailed explanations and actionable suggestions, helping your team understand not just what to fix, but why and how.
By offering in-depth, context-specific insights, we empower your developers to grasp the underlying principles behind each recommendation.

We're particularly useful for development teams who want to level up their accessibility game, whether you're accessibility newcomers or seasoned pros looking for an extra pair of expert eyes.
3. How does this support service differ from other accessibility consultancy services?
We're not just providing support; we're your accessibility allies! Unlike services that just point out problems, we roll up our sleeves and work alongside your team. We provide practical, actionable advice and hands-on support. Plus, we speak your language - no confusing jargon, just clear, developer-friendly guidance.
4. Do I need to have prior accessibility knowledge to use PurpleCode?
Not at all! Whether you're an accessibility novice or a WCAG wizard, we've got you covered. We tailor our approach to your team's knowledge level, filling in gaps and building on existing skills.
5. Can PurpleCode help with an existing website, or is it only for new projects?

We cover it all! From semantic HTML and ARIA attributes to keyboard navigation, tabindex and colour contrast, we've got every aspect of web accessibility covered.
8. Do you offer ongoing support after the initial engagement?
Of course! We're not the love 'em and leave 'em type. We offer ongoing support packages to keep your site in tip-top accessible shape.
9. How does PurpleCode integrate with our existing development workflow?
We adapt to your workflow rather than disrupt and change it all up. Whether you're using Agile, Waterfall, or something in between, we'll find a way to seamlessly integrate our accessibility expertise into your process. We're here to enhance your workflow, not disrupt it.

11. How much does the accessible development support cost?
We believe accessibility should be available to all, so we offer flexible pricing options to suit different needs and budgets. While we can't give exact figures without knowing your specific requirements, it will range anything from £795/$1,100 per month to £5,000/$6,635. Let's chat about your needs and we'll find a package that fits!

We provide comprehensive documentation tailored to your team's needs that will be clear, actionable and yours to keep.
14. How do you measure the success of your accessibility improvements?
We're big fans of 'what gets measured, gets managed'. We use a combination of automated testing tools, manual audits, and user testing to measure improvements. Plus, we'll teach you how to keep tabs on your accessibility progress long after we're gone. Success isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about real, tangible improvements in user experience.
15. What if we disagree with some of your accessibility recommendations?
We're not here to dictate; we're here to collaborate! If you disagree with a recommendation, let's talk about it. We'll explain our reasoning, listen to your concerns, and work together to find a solution that maintains accessibility while meeting your needs. It's all about finding that sweet spot between accessibility and your vision.
16. Can PurpleByte help us create an internal accessibility policy?
Absolutely! We'll help you craft an accessibility policy that's clear, comprehensive, and actually useful. No dusty documents here - just practical guidelines your team will actually want to follow.
17. How quickly can we get started with PurpleCode?
We will begin in this chapter by dealing with some general quantum mechanical ideas. Some of the statements will be quite precise, others only partially precise. It will be hard to tell you as we go along which is which, but by the time you have finished the rest of the book, you will understand in looking back which parts hold up and which parts were only explained roughly.
18. Does using PurpleByte guarantee that we won't face any accessibility-related legal issues?
While we can't offer iron-clad legal guarantees (we're accessibility experts, not lawyers), we can say this: following our recommendations will significantly reduce your risk of accessibility-related legal issues. We stay up-to-date with legal requirements and best practices, ensuring your site is not just compliant, but truly inclusive.
19. How can we ensure that we will work well together?
The best thing for you to do is to read the post about 'why're not a good fit for you' to ensure that we are both upfront about everything as early as possible to time wastage and expenses.
