Designing and developing websites for the public sector.
At We Create Digital, we specialise in creating user-friendly, accessible, and secure websites tailored to meet the unique needs of the public sector. Our team has experience working with various public organisations, ensuring that digital platforms meet compliance standards and serve the community effectively.
Accessibility compliance
Ensuring adherence to WCAG 2.1 level AA standards at a minimum for inclusive design.
Data privacy and security
Implementing robust security features to protect sensitive information.
Easy-to-use CMS
Easy-to-use CMS allowing public sector staff to update content without technical expertise.
Accessible, user-centred design.
Our approach focuses on creating intuitive and easy-to-navigate websites. We approach accessibility from the start, ensuring that a website is designed for all users. This influences our decisions around layout, colours, buttons, labels and so much more. We also produce accessibility strategies, to ensure that websites remain accessible and inclusive for your users well beyond launch.
By involving stakeholders throughout the design process, we can create websites that align with user needs and ensure optimal user engagement. Whether it’s online forms, document management, or interactive tools, we design with the user’s experience at the forefront.
In developing a new website for an exciting collaborative and innovative project, NEEB wanted to ensure that the website aligned with the very best and latest technical specifications to offer an accessible and sustainable website. We Create Digital offered a professional and supportive service, and continue to offer advice and support as we move forward with our new site.

We Create Digital have provided a bespoke service for us from the outset, and the customer service has been exemplary. Their whole approach has focused on listening to our needs and making changes to suit us. I was given training initially, with the promise of follow-up sessions as and when need. Not being an IT expert, I expected to need lots of further training, but the website design program is really simple to use. There is a lot of flexibility in how to present information on the webpage, with a combination of text, images and videos, as well the ability to make meaningful links between information on different webpages. That said, whenever I’ve needed advice or support, it has been readily available. We Create Digital actively seek our feedback and have made improvements based on that. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending this company for website design!

WeCreate Digital did an amazing job with the rebrand of the Love Bognor Regis tourism website. The team was professional, creative, and highly skilled. They understood our vision and delivered a beautiful, user-friendly site that truly represents Bognor Regis. A feature we’re particularly delighted with is an expanded menu layer with details for weather, links to live webcams, water quality, and tide time widgets. They always walk the walk in terms of up-to-date knowledge of digital privacy, and the team will be able to advise on the best services to use. We’ve received great feedback from visitors and seen a boost in engagement. We highly recommend WeCreate Digital for their excellent work!

Public sector websites provide essential services and information. Web accessibility ensures that no one is excluded, supports equality of access, improves usability for all users, and helps organisations meet their legal obligations.
Yes. UK public sector bodies are legally required to ensure their websites and mobile applications are accessible and to publish an accessibility statement outlining compliance and known issues.
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are the international standards for web accessibility, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. They define how to make digital content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
AA is considered a good standard for public sector organisations, however we often help companies achieve the highest accessibility standards for website users.
Public sector websites are expected to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This level is referenced in UK legislation and is the accepted standard for compliance.
An accessibility statement is a public document explaining how accessible your website is, which WCAG level it meets, any known accessibility issues, and how users can report problems or request information in alternative formats.
Yes. This includes core website pages, PDFs, Word documents, online forms, and embedded content. Older or third-party documents may require alternative formats if full remediation is not possible.
Non-compliance can lead to formal complaints, reputational damage, and enforcement action. More importantly, it can prevent people from accessing vital services and information.
Yes. Accessibility audits identify issues against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, prioritise risks, and provide clear recommendations to help organisations move towards compliance.
We follow recognised security best practices to protect public sector data, including secure hosting, regular updates, and controlled access to systems. Data is protected through appropriate technical and organisational measures to reduce risk and support ongoing compliance.
We Create Digital public sector websites are designed with clarity and simplicity in mind, using clear layouts, straightforward language, and familiar navigation patterns. This helps ensure services are usable for people with different levels of digital confidence.
Yes, public sector websites can be integrated with existing systems where required. This may include internal platforms, third-party services, or legacy systems, depending on technical constraints and security requirements.
We focus on practical, cost-effective solutions that deliver long-term value. This includes building flexible websites that can be updated and extended over time, helping to avoid unnecessary redevelopment and make best use of public sector budgets.
