Fighting climate change
We help organisations create websites and digital platforms that are optimised for energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of digital operations. Through our accessibility audits and recommendations, we guide organisations in implementing sustainable coding practices, such as minimising the use of energy-intensive animations and reducing the size of digital assets. Through accessibility optimisation, we also encourage the development of lightweight, fast-loading pages that consume less energy and reduce the carbon footprint of digital services. Furthermore, our inclusive design approach promotes creation of digital experiences that are accessible to all users, regardless of their device or connection speed. This helps reduce the need for energy-intensive workarounds or specialised devices, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem. With accessible and inclusive digital design, we enable organisations to deliver inclusive and environmentally responsible digital services.Covid-19 recovery
Our consulting services help organisations adapt their digital platforms to meet the needs of all users, including those who may have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Our team assists organisations in developing inclusive digital services that cater to the needs of individuals who may have limited access to technology or face barriers to digital engagement due to the pandemic. Implementing accessible design principles, such as clear navigation, easy-to-read content, and compatibility with assistive technologies, we help organisations reach and serve a wider audience during these challenging times. Our inclusive design workshops empower teams to create digital experiences that are welcoming and accessible to all, fostering a sense of connection and support during the recovery process. We enable organisations to build resilient and inclusive digital platforms that support the well-being and participation of all users in the post-pandemic world.Tackling economic inequality
We are committed to tackling economic inequality by promoting digital inclusion. We recognise that individuals with disabilities often face significant barriers to economic participation and opportunities. Through helping organisations create accessible and inclusive digital platforms, we contribute to breaking down these barriers and enabling equal access to information, services, and resources. Our team works with organisations to ensure that their websites and digital tools are usable by individuals with diverse abilities, including those who may rely on assistive technologies. Providing equal access to digital platforms helps level the playing field and create opportunities for individuals who may otherwise be excluded from the digital economy. Our services are designed to empower organisations to prioritise accessibility, contributing to the creation of a more equitable and inclusive digital landscape where everyone has the opportunity to participate, compete, and thrive.Equal opportunity
Our consulting services help organisations ensure that their digital platforms are accessible and usable by individuals with diverse abilities, backgrounds, and experiences. We work closely with organisations to identify and remove barriers to digital participation, such as complex navigation, inaccessible content, or lack of compatibility with assistive technologies. Through implementing inclusive design principles, we enable organisations to create digital experiences that are welcoming and empowering for all users, regardless of their abilities or circumstances. Our accessibility audits and remediation guidance help organisations comply with legal requirements and industry standards, ensuring that no one is excluded from accessing digital services and opportunities. Through our inclusive design workshops we foster a culture of accessibility and raise awareness about the importance of equal opportunity in the digital realm. Promoting accessible and inclusive digital practises, we contribute to the creation of a more equitable society, where everyone has the chance to fully participate and benefit from the digital world.Wellbeing
We prioritise the wellbeing of all users, recognising that digital experiences significantly impact mental health and quality of life. We help organisations create digital platforms that are not only accessible but also promote a sense of belonging, empowerment, and positive engagement. Our inclusive design approach emphasises the importance of creating welcoming and intuitive digital experiences that reduce frustration, anxiety, and cognitive load for users with diverse abilities. Through implementing accessible design principles, such as clear and consistent navigation, readable text, and appropriate colour contrast, we help organisations create digital environments that are comfortable and conducive to mental wellbeing. Our team also provides guidance on incorporating wellness-focused features, such as customisable settings, minimal distractions, and support for assistive technologies that enhance the user experience. Through our accessibility audits and remediation support, we help organisations identify and address any barriers to digital wellbeing, ensuring that their platforms are inclusive and supportive of all users' needs.
