Web accessibility for persons with disabilities and deficits is our most practical example of how doing good is also good business, and so we’ve made it a specialty. That’s why governments in 4 countries, private sector and NGOs have requested our advice on what to do and how to do it.

Analyse: We review your online presence and products for gap and risk analysis, as to what degree your sites comply with federal, provincial or state regulations.

Train + Motivate: We motivate and train your team as to why Web accessibility matters, and how to get it done, demystifying regulations into satisfying easy-to-follow steps.

Design + Program: We can fix your design or your code if you don’t have the time or resources … or coach your team if you do.

Test + Certify: Finally, we execute technical and user testing (including coaching you on remaining gaps then retesting), and provide a formal opinion, chart, and certificate of your degree of compliance so you can demonstrate your compliance to others… for regulators, for clients, for users, for society.


In the recent Jodhan federal court challenge in Canada, Statistics Canada was able to successfully defend their work, pulling up the report we prepared for them for the online census that demonstrated their compliance with Treasury Board regulations.

When Montreal’s eXplorance needed to demonstrate to NASA that their enterprise Blue product complied with the U.S. Government’s Section 508 regulations, and Australia’s WCAG 2.0 requirements, we trained their team, then provided them proof of their compliance.

And we can help you as well.
