What is accessibility?
Accessibility is the practice of making your digital content usable by as many people as possible. Accessibility solutions are not only for people with severe disabilities but also for anyone who has just broken an arm or can’t find their glasses. Accessibility in UI design is no longer an addition, but an integral must-have part of the user experience.
WHO has identified over 1 billion disabled people. 20% of them live with great functional difficulties in their day-to-day lives.
Why to invest in accessibility?
- Allow everyone to access your products
- Allow everyone to engage
- Avoid penalties in the future to save budget and protect your reputation
- Make an impact and be an example for others
The impact you can make
- It’s ethical and inclusive
- It helps people with disabilities
- Reach out to those who your competition neglect
- Build you brand loyalty
- Algorithms love it
Avoid fines and putting stress on your team
As governments are more and more aware of accessibility issues, they already started to enroll in accessibility audits for organizations.
For example in Norway, the EU’s web directive has already become a part of Norwegian law and will apply to activities in the public sector. Organizations that do not comply will pay substantial fines.
Avoid putting stress on an audit on your organization and your team today and at your own pace.
We will help you to get through this process.

Audit – your first step to accessibility
We use Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) to assess possible problems and point to the right solutions.
Then we manually test them and note any problems. Using developer tools we look under the hood and look at the code. We try the solution without using touch or mouse: voice over, keyboard.
We document the findings with clear indication of the guideline referenced, description of an issue and criteria of success.
Optionally, we mark the exact solutions that would let you achieve the criteria and identify potential to grow.
