Your specialist for accessible web design

"Accessible web design is the art of creating websites in a way that everyone can use and read them."

Accessible websites are successful because optimal accessibility is useful to everyone, which in turn represents an immense increase in the website's value and pays off to both provider and user. Our main concern lies in breaking down the barriers around the subject of accessibility and raising people's awareness of it, thereby making accessibility an integral feature of web design.

Make use of our counselling capacity

As accessibility can adapt to any given corporate design, the scope for designing a website is not limited by it. We listen to the requirements of our clients and together develop ideas and identify solutions to each area. Accessibility affects all procedures - from conceptual design to technical implementation to editorial work. We act as accompanying advisors who take care of a project for just as long as is needed and desired.

Benefit from our experience

We test the usability of websites, create lists of deficiencies and make specific suggestions for improvement. In compliance to formal guidelines, we examine the usability on user agents (e.g. Screenreader). Our long standing personal experience and qualified usability tests taken by people with handicaps are especially important in this context.

Take advantage of our training facilities

To develop a sense of what possibilities and chances accessibility offers, it's helpful to get to know the way handicapped people work. We support our clients in all areas at seminars, presentations, in-house training courses and individual training programmes, accompanying the process-oriented implementation of accessibility within the ongoing project. We offer training to project managers, conceptual artists, graphic designers, developers and editors.

Qualification and personal commitment

The monitoring and implementation of a number of projects that have been awarded prizes (BIENE-Awards, DMMA) exemplify our standards in quality and our success. As author addressing the subject of accessible web design in different publications (e.g. dpunkt.verlag, KnowWare, Information Wissenschaft & Praxis) and as writer of a number of articles on accessibility, Jan Eric Hellbusch regularly presents his know-how to the interested public. In addition to this, he frequently gives presentations and participates at congresses. His honorary involvement at various societies for the Blind (e.g. DVBS, Pro Retina Deutschland e.V.) demonstrate his commitment to continuously find new and improved methods of enabling self-determined use of the Internet by handicapped people.
