We Believe...

That everyone has the right to accessible digital experiences.

In today’s world, it’s both possible and essential for all people, of all abilities, to engage fully with digital content.
That accessibility is good for everybody.

User experiences that are better for people with disabilities are almost always better for everyone: more intuitive, flexible and user-friendly.
That improving accessibility shouldn’t feel like a burden.

It can be a creative, collaborative and even inspiring process.

"This partnership works because accessibility is about people. If you don’t have the person in mind when you’re working to improve accessibility, it’s going to fail somewhere. It needs to be more than a task — it needs to be a mission. "
