What is Product Accessibility and Why is it Important
If you ask us why meeting accessibility compliance is important, we will respond with the following answer: “It is simply the right thing to do.”
Ensuring your software is ADA compliant is not just a legal obligation but a strategic move. By making your software accessible to all, including those who rely on assistive technology, you open doors to a wider audience, potentially increasing your reach and impact.
Our designers, developers, and testers are experienced in creating and testing fully accessible experiences from scratch for clients looking for custom software. Besides custom software, we can help you reach the required compliance level for your existing software, whether web-based or native, by providing accessibility audits.
During this process, we will thoroughly test your software against the required Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and provide an extensive report of where your software needs to be changed to become fully Accessible.
But we will not stop there; based on your needs, we will help you implement changes that will not only make your software accessible now but also stand the test of time as your software grows and changes.

Not yet ready for a full Accessibility audit? You can schedule a 15-minute meeting with Peter Zuidema, our Human-Centered Design manager, to discuss digital accessibility. And make sure to follow or reach out to him on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pzuidema/
If you ask us why meeting accessibility compliance is important, we will respond with the following answer: “It is simply the right thing to do.”
Too often, accessibility is an afterthought. Checking a box with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliance isn't enough. Accessibility is about usability. An unusable product, even if technically compliant, fails its users.
