Designed for everyone, not retrofitted for some.

Accessibility done late is expensive and never quite right. We design it in from the first wireframe, WCAG built into the components, inclusive choices in the patterns, and verification with real assistive technology, so the product works for everyone and passes because it was built to.

The problemWhat you're actually inheriting

Most teams treat accessibility as a final audit.

  • Bolted on at the end.

    It becomes a frantic remediation pass before launch, expensive, rushed, and never quite right.

  • A checklist, not an experience.

    Teams chase WCAG line items without ever checking whether someone using a screen reader can actually finish the task.

  • Inconsistent the moment it ships.

    Without accessible components and patterns, every new screen reintroduces the same barriers.

We design accessibility in from the start, so it's built into the system, not bolted onto the deadline.

When to bring us inThe situations we see most often

When teams bring us in.

  • You're under a compliance deadline or regulation.

    We move fast to meet WCAG and the regulation you're held to, without a rushed bolt-on that breaks the experience.

  • An audit came back with a long list of failures.

    We triage, prioritize, and remediate, fixing the root patterns so the same issues stop coming back.

  • You're rebuilding and want it accessible from day one.

    We bake accessibility into the design and components from the first wireframe, so it ships compliant by default.

  • Your team treats accessibility as QA's job, not design's.

    We move it upstream into design and delivery, where the cheap, durable fixes actually live.

  • You need it to work with assistive tech, not just pass a scan.

    We test with real screen readers and keyboard-only navigation, because passing a scanner isn't the same as being usable.

  • You're serving a wide, diverse audience and can't leave anyone out.

    We design for the full range of people and abilities, so the experience works across audiences, languages, and contexts.

What we doAccessibility and inclusive design services

What accessibility and inclusive design covers.

Inclusive design from the first wireframe, accessible components, WCAG audits, real assistive-tech testing, and remediation, plus the delivery practice that keeps it compliant as the product evolves.

Service

Inclusive Design

Designing for the full range of people and abilities from the first wireframe, color contrast, scalable type, clear hierarchy, and patterns that work for everyone.

Service

Accessible Components & Patterns

Accessible building blocks, modals, accordions, forms, with focus states, keyboard behavior, and ARIA specified in design, so accessibility ships in the system.

Service

WCAG Audits & Conformance

Audits against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 AA, and Section 508, combining automated scans with manual review against real success criteria.

Service

Assistive Technology Testing

Validation with real screen readers and keyboard-only navigation, because passing a scanner isn't the same as being usable for someone who relies on it.

Service

Remediation, Web & PDF

Fixing existing web and PDF content to meet WCAG 2.2 AA and PDF/UA, with clear, prioritized reporting you can act on.

Service

Accessibility in Delivery

Accessibility acceptance criteria in every story and design review, so the product stays compliant as it keeps evolving.

Delivery, in the open

Every engagement ships with Bott.

Our engagement agent shows up on day one with full project context, AI-reviewed PRs, and DORA-level delivery transparency in every steering review. On Drupal engagements, our open-source SDLC plugin encodes config-management discipline (import / export hygiene, protected settings, quality gates) into every AI-assisted change.

NextScope your accessibility work

Build it accessible from the first wireframe.

Whether you're under a deadline, working through an audit backlog, or rebuilding from scratch, let's design accessibility in so it ships compliant by default and works for everyone.

Design is one of four capabilities

The same team carries it through.

We don't hand the work to a build partner and walk out. The people who frame the bet are the people accountable when it ships. Read how the other capabilities plug in.
