We're Expanding
To include a wider intersectionality of lived experience on our panel.
Arrange a qualified accessibility specialist with lived experience to go through your website or product and record their journey.
They'll share what assistive technology sounds like and share some key advice on things you can improve on.
Whether you're after just one video review to build empathy in your company, or a series of user tests to review your latest feature, we can build a plan and select the users that will create the perfect test for you.
These user tests are uploaded onto our platform to make it even easier to share key insights and create change.
You'll be able to see all the accessibility issues we found, an explanation of each one, and track your changes & improvements over time.
First of all, this is really really cool. 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.

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
My experience with Hello Access so far has been incredible! Hello Access provided insights into our project from a panellist who uses a screen reader to navigate the internet. The insights from this review were extremely helpful because we were able to see the real-world impact of an issue alongside actionable advice to resolve it. The ability to see the recording of the panellist interacting with our product and going through the user journey was extremely enlightening.
I’m also really grateful that we are given feedback on what’s working as it’s really heartening to be able to recognise what we’re doing well, and not only focus on the downsides. The platform itself is extremely easy to use due to its simplicity and focus on communicating what matters.
I’m stoked to be able to add this to my toolkit for building accessible and equitable tech solutions.

Senior Digital Designer
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 Steven 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
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!

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.
