We’ve helped these companies start the conversation and improve their accessibility
We provide an easy way for companies to start the journey to improve their accessibility by connecting them to people with lived experiences.
We’ve helped these companies start the conversation and improve their accessibility
We connect companies to people with lived experiences.
Once you sign-up below, someone with lived experience will go through your website homepage and record their journey. They'll share what assistive technology sounds like, navigate through your website, and share some key advice on things you can improve on.
Use this video to build empathy in your team and start the conversations in your business.
Take a look at our audit for Trade Me above.
After that, we'll send you logins to a live dashboard.
You'll be able to see all the accessibility issues we found, an explanation of each one, and instructions on how to solve it!
Here you'll also be able to track your changes & improvements over time.

From here, if you're interested in exploring further, you can access a panel of qualified consultants with lived experiences.
They can provide training, help improve any issues, and cover a wider range of disabilities so you can fully improve your web accessibility.
We have a team of people with lived experiences ready to connect, such as Julius, who has 15 years experience in digital accessibility & the lived experience of being blind.
"First of all, this is really really cool, thank you for reaching out and giving me the chance to participate in this audit. For background, I am a visual designer, and I do not code, so I heavily rely on a visual website creator to do the heavy lifting. Seeing it BREAK like that was really eye opening and I really appreciate you bringing that to my attention. This is a great product."
Aditi Rajagopal
Experience Design at Meta
"Thank you so much! I really appreciate this very detailed feedback. I've shared the video with the team and drafted a list of things we should prioritize to improve the experience based on your recommendations. I hope I'll be able to update you soon when we have made the changes! Again, thank you 🙏"
Julie Chabin
Head of Design at Product Hunt
"I feel embarrassed to admit it, but I've never thought about the functionality of our website for users with disabilities. The 20-minute audit that Julius ran provided an overview of all of the opportunities we have to improve it, making it truly accessible for everyone."
Sophie Evans
Marketing Manager at Coffee Supreme
"As someone who is passionate about fostering a culture strong in DI&B at work, I'm always open to learning more about how to make a company more inclusive. Speaking with Stephen and watching Julius use the screen reader has now got me thinking about accessibility from a whole new angle for which I am extremely grateful."
Varun Bhandarkar
Manager, Existing Business APAC & Japan at a payment infrastructure company
"This was SO cool!!! Thank you so much for this opportunity. I've never seen someone read a website with a screen reader, so I learned so much – for example, I never really knew before why the header hierarchies mattered. But now that I've seen this, it's obvious why they matter!"
Lauren Peate
CEO at Multitudes
"Akahu is for all Kiwis, so we knew that we needed specific design input to ensure broad accessibility. Steven and Julius were fast, competent, and excellent communicators of their findings. Highly recommend."
