Design That Welcomes Everyone, Regardless of Ability
When your digital product works for people with diverse abilities and circumstances, you're not just meeting compliance standards—you're expanding your reach and demonstrating genuine care for all users.
Back to HomeWhat Inclusive Design Brings
Imagine your product working seamlessly for someone navigating with a keyboard, someone using a screen reader, someone with limited vision, or someone experiencing temporary impairment. Accessibility isn't just about avoiding barriers—it's about creating experiences that respect and serve diverse human needs.
Broader Reach
Your product becomes usable by millions who currently face barriers
Legal Confidence
Meet WCAG standards and reduce regulatory concerns
Better for Everyone
Improvements that help people with disabilities often enhance usability for all users
Brand Values
Demonstrates commitment to inclusion and social responsibility
When Accessibility Gets Overlooked
Perhaps you've received messages from users who couldn't complete purchases because forms weren't keyboard accessible. Or noticed that your color choices make text difficult to read for people with color vision differences. Maybe screen reader users abandon your product because navigation structure confuses assistive technology.
Accessibility often becomes an afterthought in product development, addressed only when legal concerns arise or complaints accumulate. By then, fixing fundamental issues requires significant refactoring that could have been avoided with earlier consideration.
You may worry that making your product accessible means compromising visual design or adding features that most users won't need. Or that accessibility requirements are complex technical checkboxes without clear guidance on what truly helps people.
The reality is that many accessibility barriers stem from small oversights that accumulate—missing alt text, poor color contrast, unclear focus indicators, inaccessible form controls. These issues exclude people unnecessarily and create legal exposure that grows with your user base.
Accessibility That Actually Works
Our accessibility consulting goes beyond automated testing tools and compliance checklists. We conduct thorough audits using real assistive technologies—screen readers, voice control, keyboard-only navigation, screen magnification—to identify barriers that automated tools miss.
We test with diverse participants who actually use assistive technology in their daily lives, not just simulated scenarios. Their feedback reveals whether technical compliance translates to genuine usability. This human-centered approach ensures improvements genuinely help rather than just satisfying requirements on paper.
Our recommendations balance accessibility requirements with your aesthetic and business goals. We explain not just what to fix, but why certain barriers exist and how solutions benefit all users. Implementation guidance helps your development team build accessibility in from the start rather than retrofitting later, which saves significant time and cost.

How We Work Together
Accessibility consulting typically spans 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your product's complexity and current state. We begin with a thorough audit of your existing product, documenting issues with clear examples and explaining their impact on users.
Testing with assistive technology users happens early, revealing issues that technical audits might miss. Their insights inform our recommendations, ensuring solutions address real barriers rather than just checking boxes. We share findings progressively rather than waiting until the end, allowing your team to begin improvements sooner.
Throughout the engagement, we remain available to answer questions as your team implements changes. Accessibility can feel complex at first, so having guidance during implementation ensures fixes are effective and don't create new barriers inadvertently.

Beyond Compliance
Accessibility improvements benefit far more people than those with permanent disabilities. People with temporary impairments, those using devices in challenging conditions, and older users all benefit from accessible design. Many accessibility features improve usability for everyone, making this investment valuable across your entire user base.
We work with your budget constraints and can discuss phased approaches if addressing all issues at once feels overwhelming. Payment flexibility available to support your planning needs.
How We Validate Effectiveness
Our accessibility methodology combines technical standards compliance with real human experience. We've refined our approach through extensive work with assistive technology users, learning which fixes genuinely improve usability versus those that satisfy requirements on paper without helping anyone.
Success manifests in several ways: users with disabilities can independently complete key tasks, assistive technology announces information clearly, keyboard navigation flows logically, and visual elements remain perceivable across different vision conditions. We verify these outcomes through testing at every stage.
Technical Standards
WCAG conformance verified through systematic testing
Semantic HTML structure enables assistive technology
Color contrast meets minimum requirements
Real User Impact
Screen reader users navigate efficiently
Keyboard-only users complete all key tasks
Users with low vision perceive all content clearly
Typical Timeline
Initial audit findings become available within two weeks, allowing your team to begin addressing critical issues quickly. Full recommendations and user testing results typically complete by week four. Most teams see measurable improvement in accessibility within two months of implementing changes. We remain available during implementation to ensure fixes are effective and don't introduce new barriers.
Our Promise to You
Accessibility work involves both technical knowledge and genuine understanding of how people with disabilities interact with technology. We bring both, having worked extensively with assistive technology users to understand their actual experiences, not just theoretical scenarios.
During the first two weeks, we conduct our initial audit and share preliminary findings. This early transparency lets you assess whether our approach and recommendations align with your product goals and constraints. If concerns arise, we address them immediately rather than pushing forward with a misaligned plan.
Thorough Assessment
We test your product comprehensively with various assistive technologies and usage scenarios. Our audits identify not just what's technically non-compliant, but what genuinely prevents people from using your product effectively.
Practical Recommendations
We prioritize fixes based on impact and implementation effort, providing clear guidance on what to address first. Our recommendations include specific code examples and design alternatives that maintain your aesthetic while improving accessibility.
Implementation Support
We stay involved for 30 days after delivering our findings to support your development team. Questions about specific fixes, edge cases, or new features get answered promptly to ensure accessibility improvements are implemented correctly.
Knowledge Transfer
We teach your team accessibility principles so they can maintain and extend improvements independently. Our goal is making accessibility part of your ongoing development process, not a one-time fix that degrades over time.
Beginning Your Accessibility Journey
Starting accessibility work is straightforward. We begin with a conversation about your product, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve—whether that's legal compliance, reaching more users, or simply doing the right thing.
If accessibility consulting seems appropriate, we conduct a preliminary review of your product to understand its scope and current state. This review helps us provide a realistic timeline and approach tailored to your situation.
From there, we schedule the full audit and user testing. Throughout this process, we share findings progressively rather than waiting until the end, allowing your team to begin improvements sooner and ask questions as they arise.
