Accessibility is easier upriver.

Why accessibility matters

The Stakes

When the service is public, we must absolutely get it right.

  • There’s no room for “move fast and break stuff” when dealing with folks’ health or wellbeing.
  • About 1 in 4 US adults lives with a disability, and public services have to reach all of them.
  • Commitment to accessibility builds long-term trust.

The Requirement

Accessibility is the law now, we can help remove the guesswork.

  • ADA Title II sets WCAG 2.1 AA as the standard for state and local government digital services.
  • Towns and special districts under 50,000 have until April 26, 2028. Larger entities, April 26, 2027.
  • In the EU, the European Accessibility Act has covered private digital products since June 28, 2025.

The Practice

We build accessibility from the first wireframe.

  • Designing accessible products is cheaper and more effective than redesigning for accessibility.
  • We seamlessly design for keyboard, screen readers, switch navigation, and other adaptive technologies.
  • Beyond mere diagnosis, we deliver actionable solutions.

What makes us different

  • We design and ship the product, not just the audit that grades it.
  • We test with real assistive technology, not automated scores.
  • We work in civic software, where accessibility isn’t a nice-to-have.
  • We hand over decisions and tickets, not a list of violations.
