Accessible Web Design, and Inclusive Marketing Workshops
Inclusive Design that doesn't feel like a government website
We create websites that have accessibility and inclusion at the core, whilst making sure it reflects your brand personality - because accessibility doesn’t need to be boring.
We want your website to shine as brightly as you do, and pride ourselves on creating sites that you and all of your customers love.
Reviews from wonderful clients
"Rachel is amazing!! Highly communicative and makes sure everything is accessible for your website visitors. I had a great time with Rachel designing my website as I felt really confident that she’d do a fantastic job - and she did! Thank you so much"
"Rachel reviewed my website and provided me with an understandable and thorough list of recommended changes to make it more accessible, along with a video walkthrough to show me the areas she was referencing (which I found particularly helpful as a visual learner). I feel so much better knowing my website is more accessible for a wider range of people, including people using screen readers and/or who have a visual impairment."
"We recently worked with Rachel Mess Web Design to develop the new website for Diversity Scotland, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, Rachel was professional, responsive, and clearly committed to delivering a website that met our needs.
She took the time to understand our organisation, our audience, and the importance of accessibility and inclusion in everything we do. The final website is clean, modern, and easy to navigate - exactly what we were looking for. It works seamlessly across devices and reflects our values perfectly."

Meet Your Designer
Hello, I'm Rachel! And this is all my sisters fault.
Hannah (the sister) is an ideal client for so many businesses. She’s successful, intelligent, and enjoys spending her hard-earned money on local services, meals out, holidays, games, books - you name it.
But she’s also visually impaired, and unfortunately, that results in people like her often being neglected when it comes to brand design - which means she can’t find what she needs, contact companies, or make a purchase online.
When I started designing website’s, I thought “well, I can’t give a client a pretty website that she can’t use - then the client would lose out on a customer.” And so, right from the start I knew I needed to learn as much as I could about accessibility, to make sure I was serving my customers the best that I could.
I wanted to build a business that put all people at its heart - not just the types of people we think of when we talk about “ideal customers”.
At the Inclusive Design Company we think about real people, in real situations, and design environments that are barrier free.”
