Our stance on accessibility

We believe that all people should benefit from the best of technology. And technology makes the world better only when we make it work for people.

That’s why our mission is to help organisations translate the complexity of technology into accessible products that people love.

The work we do for our clients is in line with our vision and mission, and contributes to a better world for everyone. We don’t want to harm people and planet. And, if it’s in any way possible, we want to actually have a positive effect. Ideally, our clients have the same motivation. If they don’t, we nudge them to make the right decisions anyway, by making (ethical) assumptions and choices explicit.

Our ideal client

works to make their product accessible (and not just the bare minimum because it’s a legal requirement).

In our work

we push our clients and (development) partners to make sure their output adheres to the WCAG.
we leverage new technologies to achieve optimal product accessibility.

we make sure our (public) events are accessible to as many people as possible (e.g. turning on auto captions for live streams.
