Web Accessibility

Accessibility

The purpose of web accessibility is to remove barriers and bring the information, services, and functionality of the web to as many people as possible so they can be included in the global internet community. Andromeda includes web accessibility as a first-order concern in all of their products and they bring this same commitment to their clients as well.

While just 10% of websites support proper accessibility (AbilityNet, 2018), one billion people globally live with disabilities (The World Bank, 2019). This is a tremendous discrepancy that marginalizes hundreds of millions of people.

We include Accessibility in everything we do, from design to implementation to quality assurance. Together, we can make the web a better place for everyone, by improving the accessibility of your websites and web applications.

We love Accessibility so Much, we Wrote the Book on it.
