Wellington On-Site Accessibility Checks
Is your business accessible for disabled people?
1 in 6 New Zealanders are disabled. If your business has accessibility barriers that prevent a disabled person from using your services, they will go elsewhere.
Most of what keeps disabled customers away is fixable — often for free, or very little cost. The catch: you don’t know what you’re missing until someone looks.
There are many simple things businesses can do to ensure their storefront is accessible for disabled people, like:
- menus that work for people who are blind, or have vision impairment
- checking table and furniture placement
- checking EFTPOS machines can be used without vision.
For example, if your website lacks wheelchair accessibility info, wheelchair users won’t take the risk to visit.
This is a focused, fixed-price check for Wellington businesses with a customer-facing space — cafés, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, dentists, barbers, studios, shops.
You get a clear picture of where you stand, and a simple list of what to do next.

What you get
1. On-site visit
I visit your business and check the physical space — entry, seating or waiting area, counters, bathrooms, signage, lighting, acoustics, and any printed materials like menus.
2. Digital check
I check your website and Google Maps listing for the accessibility info disabled customers look for before deciding to visit. Missing or unclear info is one of the most common reasons disabled people choose not visit.
3. A simple, actionable report
A clear report in plain language: what’s working well, and what can be improved. No dense PDFs, no jargon — just practical next steps, ordered from quick wins to bigger fixes.
Pricing
Fixed price: $249.
No quotes, no scoping calls — one price, one visit, one report. Wellington only (I come to you).

Why OpenAccess?
Disabled-led, Wellington-based, values-driven.
I’m Callum. I have a vision impairment myself, so I know which barriers matter most to disabled customers and which are easy to fix. I’m also one of the authors of the NZ Government’s web accessibility standard.
I’m not here to sell feel-good compliance badges — I’m here to help Wellington be genuinely welcoming for everyone.
