What's at stake if my site isn't accessible?

If your site isn't accessible, you’re open to demand letters and lawsuits. Many cases settle for $5k–$20k, and urgent fixes cost more and slow marketing.

How do you fix accessibility issues?

We audit and repair your theme and content against WCAG AA, then verify with keyboard and screen-reader testing. You get an Accessibility Statement, a changelog, and a simple authoring checklist. No overlays.

What are the benefits of having an accessible website?

Lower legal exposure and a smoother experience for everyone. Clearer forms and navigation help more visitors inquire; cleaner code often boosts speed and search.

150+ five-star reviews

Your website should work for your business.

We build new websites, improve existing ones, and take care of the essentials after launch. Clear paths for customers, practical accessibility, and a real person you can reach when something needs attention.

Build a new website

Starting a business or ready for a better site? We build websites that explain what you do, help customers contact you, and are easy for you to update.

Fix or refresh your site

If your current site is outdated, hard to use, or has accessibility issues, we can improve it. We work with your existing platform when it can support what you need.

Maintain your website

Your website needs attention after launch. We check the agreed pages and customer paths each month, handle routine work covered by your plan, and tell you what needs a decision.

More than a good-looking website.

Help customers find you

Clear service and location information helps the right people understand what you offer and where you work.

Make the next step easy

A visitor should be able to call, book, or send an inquiry without having to search for the right place to do it.

Keep the experience usable

We pay attention to navigation, forms, and mobile use so more people can get through the parts of your site that matter.

Accessibility is part of the work.

We review the pages and paths your customers actually use, including forms, navigation, booking steps, PDFs, and checkout where relevant. We use WCAG guidance to identify barriers and fix issues within the agreed project scope. If we find work outside that scope, we explain it and give you a clear next step.

A website needs care after launch.

Talk

Tell us what you need and what has been frustrating you. If you are not sure whether to build, fix, or maintain, we can work that out together.

Build or improve

We agree on the work, then build or improve the site around the way your customers use it. You can see what is being done and what comes next.

Keep it working

After launch, you can take over the site or choose a care plan. If you choose care, we keep checking the agreed essentials each month.

Michael was incredible: from the very first minute, he had a clear idea of how to implement the homepage, but he also incorporated a lot of my input regarding design and structure…

We recommend Ideary Works! Michael helped our agency with ADA compliance. His turnaround times were exactly aligned with the timelines he proposed. His reporting was highly detailed and included practical/actionable steps for remediation. He even ran a complimentary test after we implemented remediation changes to ensure we were aligned. His communication made the entire process seamless. We plan to work with him again!

A real person behind your website.

I’m Michael Mees, founder of Ideary Works in Pasadena. I work directly with small businesses on new websites, improvements, and ongoing care. You can tell me what is going on with your site, and I will give you a clear answer about what I can do.

Questions before we get started?

Can you improve the website I already have?

Yes. We work with existing sites on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, GoDaddy, Shopify, and other platforms. We first look at the site you have and what you want to change. If the current platform limits the result, we will explain why before recommending a move.

Do I need a new site or a redesign?

That depends on what is working today. Sometimes clearer content, better navigation, or targeted fixes are enough. If the structure or platform gets in the way, a rebuild may be the better choice. We will walk you through the options before quoting the project.

How do you handle accessibility?

We look at the pages and customer paths that matter most, including navigation, forms, and booking or checkout steps where relevant. We identify barriers using WCAG guidance and address the work included in your project or care plan. A free homepage review is a starting point, not a full-site audit or certification.

What happens after launch?

You receive access to your website and can manage everyday content yourself. If you would like ongoing help, you can choose a care plan. We also take on one-time website projects without a continuing care agreement. If a project is paid in installments, the payment and care terms are set out in its proposal.

Do you work outside California?

Yes. Ideary Works is based in Pasadena and works with businesses throughout Los Angeles County and across the U.S. Most conversations and project work can happen remotely.

Share a few details and I will recommend the next step. You do not need to know yet whether that means a new site, a redesign, or ongoing care.
