Web development of accessible websites
Since Itiden was founded in 1996, we have helped our customers with web development. We create everything from interactive banners and campaigns to corporate websites and full-scale web applications. Our broad experience makes us experts in creating accessible, user-friendly, attractive and secure solutions that stand the test of time.
Accessibility
Accessibility (or a11y for short) is about giving all individuals equal opportunities to access information and services on the web, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities.
There are also laws and regulations, such as the EU Web Accessibility Directive and the upcoming European Accessibility Act (EAA) 2025, which require websites to be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
We use a wide range of effective tools to develop accessible websites and make sure to integrate accessibility early in the project, which affects both design and content.
Web standards
Developing websites that follow web standards is essential to ensuring that they are accessible, user-friendly and compatible with different browsers and devices. Web standards, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and other organizations, include guidelines for HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other technologies. By following these standards, developers can create web pages that work correctly for all users, regardless of which platform they use.
Web standards are constantly evolving. To ensure that your website remains relevant and follows best practices, it is important to keep it up to date with the latest changes and updates.
User experience / UX
User experience is at the core of a successful website. We focus on creating websites that are easy to navigate and have strong SEO (search engine optimization), so users can easily find and interact with the content. A combination of aesthetic design, functionality and technical performance ensures that users have an optimal experience.
Technology
The choice of technology is secondary to achieving a high-quality user experience, but is nevertheless important for creating sustainable solutions. We follow web standards and use efficient frameworks for development. We most often build our backend with PHP/Laravel or .NET, and for interactive frontend solutions we prefer React. When a CMS is needed, we are happy to use Statamic, a Laravel-based CMS.

Questions and answers
What do you mean by web development?
Web development is about building websites that are fast, stable and easy to maintain, and that run in a web browser. Whether you call it a website or web page, and whether you call it web development, web design or programming, in practice it is about creating a technical solution that works in the real world and stands the test of time.
What types of websites do you develop?
We develop corporate websites, marketing websites, campaign pages and more advanced web applications. This can involve everything from creative campaigns and interactive solutions to larger websites with functionality, integrations and clear business objectives.
Which technologies do you use in web development?
We use modern web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript together with frameworks such as React, Next.js and Vite. For backend development, we often work with .NET or PHP with Laravel. When a CMS is needed, we use, for example, Statamic, WordPress, Optimizely or headless solutions. Technology choices are based on performance, security and longevity.
Can you help update an outdated WordPress website?
Yes. We help update WordPress websites that have become slow, insecure or difficult to develop further. This may involve updates, performance improvements, code cleanup or rebuilding functionality. In some cases, we recommend a different technical approach if it is more sustainable in the long term.
Do you work with SEO and AI search in web development?
Yes. We are responsible for the technical foundations of both traditional SEO and visibility in AI-based search services. This includes structure, performance, load times, semantic HTML, structured data and ensuring that the content is clear and easy to interpret.
We also take AEO and GEO into account—that is, how content can be designed to work well in answer engines and generative AI services. For ongoing work with content, analysis and search strategy, we collaborate with specialized partners when needed.
How do you work with accessibility and WCAG?
Accessibility is a natural part of how we develop websites. We follow WCAG guidelines and make sure that the solutions work for different users, devices and assistive technologies.
Can you take over and further develop an existing website?
Yes. We can take over existing websites that need to be improved, expanded or restructured. We always start by understanding the current situation before proposing technical changes.
Can you help after the website launches?
Absolutely. We work long-term with maintenance, further development and technical support so that the website remains secure, fast and relevant over time.
How much does a website cost?
The price depends on what the website needs to do, how complex the functionality is and what technical level is required. A simple web page costs less than a complete website with integrations, custom functionality or system connections. We always prepare a specific quote based on your goals and requirements, and explain what the costs consist of before the project starts.
Are you the right partner for web development?
If you are looking for a team that takes responsibility for the technology, performance and long-term sustainability of your website, rather than quick solutions that do not last, there is a good chance that we are a great fit.
