Website Accessibility Basics for Trade Businesses

Old trade websites often have the same problems: tiny text, missing image descriptions, confusing headings, contact forms that are hard to use, and pages that nobody has updated in years.

AI Site Biz helps by rebuilding the site instead of patching the old one forever. You send the current URL in WhatsApp. We keep useful services, photos, service areas, and business facts, then create a cleaner new site that is easier for customers to use and easier for you to update.

What we mean by accessibility basics

Accessibility is not a magic badge or a plugin. It is a set of practical choices that make a website easier for more people to use.

For AI Site Biz sites, that means paying attention to:

• Clear page structure and headings.
• Readable text and color contrast.
• Descriptive text for important images where practical.
• Links and buttons that explain what they do.
• Contact paths that work well on mobile.
• Forms and navigation that are easier to use without guesswork.

This is not legal advice, not a compliance guarantee, and not a guarantee that a website eliminates legal risk. Automated checkers can help find issues, but the U.S. Department of Justice also notes that automated tools should be used carefully and paired with human review.

Why rebuilding is often cleaner than patching

If the old site was built years ago, the hard part is not one missing image description. The hard part is usually the whole structure: old templates, plugin clutter, inconsistent page layouts, and a process that makes every small edit feel expensive.

A fresh AI Site Biz site lets us keep what matters and drop what does not:

• Keep the services customers actually search for.
• Keep useful photos and proof of work.
• Keep service areas, phone numbers, and contact details.
• Drop old pages that confuse visitors.
• Drop maintenance work that exists only because the old platform needs it.
