WORK WITH US
We help business owners like you make their physical spaces and websites barrier-free for their existing and new customers, regardless of ability or disability.
Creating environments that are welcoming for persons with disabilities can increase the number of customers or event attendees by as much as 28%.
Barrier-free interactions improve overall user experience and satisfaction, especially in a variety of situations, across different devices, and for older users. Being barrier-free can enhance your brand, drive innovation, and extend your market reach.
WE BELIEVE EVERYONE DESERVES ACCESS TO BARRIER-FREE SPACES
The access guaranteed by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil right and not a suggestion.
Accessibility Standards are law and not subject to an individual's definition.
Putting a ramp up to a door does not make the entire property “ADA Accessible”.
There is no such thing as a space being "grandfathered in" and therefore immune from the ADA.
Compliance to the ADA Standards for Accessible Design and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines mitigates risk, and can keep you from being sued, but it won't automatically make your website barrier-free.
I can make your physical and virtual spaces Barrier-Free, which will show your potential customers that you want them to be there.
BARRIER-FREE BUSINESS REVIEW AND FUTURE STRATEGY
A Barrier-Free Business Review begins with checking the ADA Standards compliance specific to your type of Public Accommodations.
And then goes further, because l want to expand your customer base
We will develop an individual plan for your space, then show you how to implement and maintain it. Creating the plan is easy. Sometimes the hardest part is helping your employees why it’s important and how to not undo it accidentally.
WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY
“The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.”- Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines define how to make Web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Accessibility involves a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
