Our services:

We use user-centred research and design principles to transform users’ experiences.

Accessibility
 comes as
standard.

At Mixd, we specialise in web accessibility and have been designing accessible websites that meet WCAG standards for almost 20 years. Designing and building accessible digital services is a key feature of our delivery process, aligning fully to the Government Service Standard. As well as offering accessibility training and testing within projects, we also offer accessibility audits and consultancy to support compliance with the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations.

Simple.
Fast.
Inclusive.

  1. Simple:

    We test and prototype to understand a problem which enables us to re-orientate around what people actually need and then deliver on it.

  2. Fast:

    Our obsession with efficiency will optimise load times and data consumption thereby improving the end-user experience.

  3. Inclusive:

    We consider the barriers different groups of users might face when trying to use your service, identifying pain points, gaps and opportunities.

It was important that our new website not only met accessibility regulations but was also visually engaging. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome.
