Web Accessibility & Inclusive Website Design for Minnesota Businesses
If you’re a Minnesota business or organization looking to make your website more accessible—without getting buried in technical jargon—you’re in the right place.
Access Designs provides web accessibility and inclusive website design services for Minnesota-based businesses, nonprofits, and service providers. We focus on practical, human-first solutions that make websites easier to use for everyone, including people with disabilities.
Whether you’re launching a new website, improving an existing one, or trying to understand accessibility requirements in plain English, our goal is simple: help you create a website that works for real people.
Local Support from Someone Who Gets Small Businesses
Accessibility can feel intimidating when most advice online is either overly technical or fear-based. Working with us means you get support that’s approachable, collaborative, and grounded in Minnesota small business realities.
We don’t believe in shame tactics or legal panic. We believe in clarity, education, and solutions that make sense for where you’re at today.
Our work is informed by lived experience and real accessibility needs—not just automated tools or checklists.

How Accessibility Helps
Your Brand
Reach More People in Your Community
An accessible website helps more Minnesotans use your site — including older adults, people with disabilities, and customers browsing on phones or assistive devices. More accessibility = more people able to become clients, donors, or participants.
Show Up Better in Search
Search engines reward the same structure and clarity that accessibility depends on. Clean headings, readable content, proper alt text, and organized navigation can help Minnesota businesses show up more often in search results — without complicated SEO tactics.
Build Trust & Credibility
When your website is easy for everyone to use, it sends a clear message: your business values inclusion. That matters in Minnesota, where small businesses, nonprofits, and local organizations rely heavily on trust, referrals, and community relationships.
Boost Conversions & Engagement
When websites are easier to navigate, understand, and interact with, more people complete the actions that matter — contacting your business, scheduling appointments, making donations, signing up for services, or actually reading your content.
Serve Aging Communities
Minnesota has a large aging population seeking services. Accessible websites make it easier for older adults to read text, use forms, navigate menus, and complete tasks without frustration.
Better User Experience
Accessibility improvements help everyone — they support busy parents on phones, people in noisy environments, users with slow internet, and visitors dealing with Minnesota’s seasonal glare (🤍 winter sun + screens = not ideal).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities to work with you?
No — we work with clients across Minnesota. Everything can be done remotely.
Do you only work with new websites?
Not at all. Many Minnesota businesses come to us with existing websites that need accessibility improvements or redesigns.
Do you work with small budgets or nonprofits?
Yes. We frequently work with small organizations and nonprofits. Accessibility shouldn’t only be accessible to big companies. And accessibility services for large sites are more affordable then you might think.
Do I need to understand accessibility to get started?
No. You don’t need to know WCAG or legal standards. How much you want to learn is up to you. Most of our clients are too busy running their businesses and just prefer we handle everything and give them the necessary documentation at the conclusion of the project so they can get their tax credit.
