"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."

Someone with both professional accessibility experience and lived experience will run through your website and record a 15-minute video where they'll cover what assistive technology sounds like, like a screen reader, show how they would navigate through your website, and share some key advice on some things y'all can improve on.
Looking for a deeper dive into accessibility that will give you clarity about the exact issues you need to solve and how to improve them?
With an accessibility audit, a key team member with both professional accessibility experience and lived experience will run through your website and access your website based on the WCAG 2.1 criteria.
They'll use a range of assistive technology to spot as many issues as possible and will prioritise it in order of ease and importance. Starts at $150 per page.
