If any of the questions apply to you, we could help you too

Is your software also used by people with physical or mental disabilities?
Do you always need to have the software explained by the support team?
Do your developers produce software that is ugly and difficult to use?
Does your digital product have to meet ISO 9241 standards because of EU funding?

Do you have a good product but no good user experience around it?
Do you have old inventory software that urgently needs to be modernised?
Do your customers complain because your product is not intuitive and incomprehensible?
Do you need accessible UX design but don’t want to hire your own designers?

Accessibility in apps, websites and software

By law (e.g. Federal Participation Act), we are soon obliged to implement accessibility, not only morally. There are certain requirements that must be met in order to ensure inclusion. As IT experts, we can help you with this. Software can be made tactile and audible for blind people.

A deaf person can grasp the content of e.g. videos through subtitles. An illiterate person can gain knowledge through picture language and listening. There are operating concepts, easy language, inclusive design and the integration of assistive technologies that help in the implementation of accessibility.

We are for more accessibility in and with IT

Accessibility also ensures participation in social life, working life and IT solutions for people with various types and degrees of disability – as an assurance of international human rights and as an obligation under the German Participation Act and the specific ordinance for federal states.
IT cannot take away people’s limitations, but it can make their lives easier.
