Drum Studios

Based in Farnham, Surrey, this agency has been designing and developing websites since 2006, working with UK and European organisations that want their digital products to be accessible by design. Rather than treating accessibility as a final checklist, the agency positions it as a foundation of good design, arguing that accessible sites perform better, load faster and rank higher in search results. Its client base spans forward-thinking companies looking to meet WCAG 2.2 standards, the UK Public Sector Bodies Regulations and the European Accessibility Act. Services include accessible web design and development built around clean, sustainable code, alongside accessibility auditing and testing that goes beyond automated scans to include manual audits and user testing with disabled participants. The agency also offers digital consultancy and strategy, advising on procurement and long-term digital roadmaps to help organisations embed accessibility across their teams, particularly within the UK and European regulatory landscape. For organisations with existing platforms that fall short of legal or functional standards, it provides remediation and technical support intended to bring sites up to standard without a full rebuild. The agency also publishes resources and blog content on topics such as user testing with people with disabilities, dyslexia-friendly design and the limitations of accessibility overlay widgets, reflecting its focus on practical, evidence-based approaches to inclusive design. It also donates a portion of sales, described as 10%, to charity.
