Schedule A Free Consultation
As a certified accessibility professional and human rights consultant, I’m committed to helping local governments, public entities, and organizations navigate the complexities of creating inclusive environments for all. With over two decades of experience in website design and development, I have shifted my focus toward becoming a powerful solution to the world’s accessibility issues through guidance and education.
I have a systematically involved process encompassing research, auditing, documentation, communication, organization, and action. I am 100% confident this is how municipalities and organizations achieve true accessibility. It’s not just about following WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guideline) or filling out maturity models. True accessibility is achieved by hard work, conscious thought, and custom-tailored plans and policies that reflect your organization’s intentions and actions.
I offer a Free Accessibility Consultation to discuss your community’s unique needs, challenges, and objectives. This initial step is vital on your journey towards accessibility, offering an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a more inclusive community.
Your dedication to making a positive change is admirable, and I’m here to provide the guidance and support needed to achieve your accessibility goals.
Kind regards,
