FAQs
How is Access Design Studio different from other agencies?
Our connection is personal. Our founder, Denise, has a brother with a disability, fueling her lifelong commitment to digital inclusion. Additionally, Access Design Studio employs multiple people with disabilities including people who are blind, neurodivergent with autism and ADHD. We aren’t just checking boxes; we are advocating for human experiences.
As a business owner for over 25 years, Denise has a deep understanding of the complexities, budgets, competing priorities, etc. that business owners face.
How does the accessibility process work?
There are many approaches to accessibility. Depending on a business’s goals, timeline, budget, type and size of website and other factors, we will work with you to find an approach that fits your needs.
For a business that comes to us and says, “let’s do the whole shebang. Get our site accessible,” we start with a comprehensive accessibility audit to find where your site is “broken” for users with disabilities. A comprehensive audit MUST utilize both automated and manual testing. Automated testing alone falls very short of identifying all accessibility violations. From there, we either fix the violations for you (remediation) or guide your dev team to do the fixes by adding custom code guidance for each accessibility violation.
All of our packages include an Accessibility Training for Content Creators to assure that those adding content to your site are adding content accessibly and keeping the site in compliance.
We will then CERTIFY your site as accessible.
What is the pricing approach?
Pricing is project-based and depends on the complexity and size of your website as well as whether you want to get your site accessible all at once, phased or over time, whether your developers will be doing the fixes or ours and other factors. We prioritize transparent, value-driven quotes that reflect the depth of our manual testing and expert consulting.
Who does Access Design Studio Work with?
Access Design Studio works with businesses large and small across all industries. A large number of our clients are eCommerce on Shopify, WordPress, Big Commerce, Squarespace, Wix, Miva and other platforms. We also work with non-eCommerce sites, informational sites and non-profits as well and education and government sites.
Who leads your accessibility audits?
Our team of accredited accessibility experts is led by our lead auditor, who is blind and a native screen reader user. |
Is accessibility a one-time project?
No. Accessibility is a practice, not a destination. As your content and the web evolve, your site requires regular check-ups to remain usable for everyone.
Do people with disabilities test our site?
Yes. Our Accessibility Advisory Board, made up of individuals with diverse disabilities, identifies the UX barriers that a technical scan cannot see. |
How does a business get started?
The best first step is setting up a free call with us so we can learn your goals, your timeline, your budget, your human resources (developers), etc. and outline for you the various approaches to accessibility.
