About
We’ve been working in the accessibility field since 1999. Our company is lead by Derek Featherstone, internationally renowned speaker, author and accessibility expert. We help our clients with three core accessibility needs:
- Taking Stock: we assess your current level of accessibility so that you know where you stand.
- Chart a Course: based on that assessment, we help you figure out where you need to go and how you’re going to get there
- Learn to do it yourself: Part of getting there is working with your teams to ensure that they get the knowledge and skills that you need to be self-sufficient.
We also provide on-going monitoring and evaluation of the accessibility of your redesign efforts, or new web sites and applications. Why? Because you need to know if you’re hitting the mark.
