Local in this case means #Thatcham, #Newbury and surrounding areas. We use a range of testing tools to ensure accessibility, code wise at least, is as high as possible. Then there are other tools/methods used too.
We have been testing a few local websites (not originally created by us) for accessibility. Common issue is lack of Alt tag, contrast, aria tags missing, heading elements in wrong order - thats ignoring cookie issues! A few simple steps could resolve all...

To see some of our work take a look at our website at devzen.co.uk/. Need a website then get in touch. Or do you just want to learn all this for yourself - happy to tutor, teach, train any of it...

One website gone live recently, most we now create using #WordPress. Lets the client maintain control and be responsible for content, if they wish.
We believe the client should be in total control of their website, our clients (#Thatcham, #Newbury and surrounding areas) have full ownership and are not tied to any specific developer. The client is in control.

A few more website updates, training manuals updated, training given to allow client to take over websites, and more. We believe the client should be in full control and ownership. devzen.co.uk/ #Thatcham #Newbury

Been working on 2nd edition of @newbury365 again, a few other #history projects too. Don't forget I also do websites via @DevZenUK, most of which are #Thatcham / #Newbury based businesses/charities/societies/etc. - love supporting local organisations.

Keeping an eye on your websites is essential, even just uptime. You could do so with an online service such as Uptime Robot ( uptimerobot.com/ ) or go self hosted with Kuma ( github.com/louislam/uptime-k… )

A recent(ish) job for a colleague, had an old PC and wanted to retrieve data from the Hard Drive as well as some ZIP and Floppy Disks. System had ISA, PCI and an AGP slot, but issues with HDD. Did manage to retrieve most of the data. Again please backup data, regularly.

Website development is probably what we are best known for but we do other things too, computer repair for example.

Most of the websites we have created have a link back to us in the footer. Have you spotted ant websites created by us?

Getting ready for another website to go live soon. A selection can be seen on my @DevZenUK site at devzen.co.uk. Not just websites either, I also do computer repair, consultancy, training, IoT (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.) etc… #Thatcham
