About Us
Accessible digital experiences, designed with clarity, empathy, and real‑world experience.
Where It Started
Our journey began over 15 years ago on a high‑profile government project that required rigorous accessibility scrutiny. Leading consultancies were brought in, and the cost of their large, five‑figure assessments made something clear:
Aha #1: Accessibility was essential — but the way it was delivered was often expensive, complex, and difficult for teams to act on.
Simplifying Accessibility
After understanding accessibility end‑to‑end across the SDLC, we offered a low‑cost one‑page audit on a major freelancer platform — simple, practical, and jargon‑free. What started as a small experiment soon reached teams behind government platforms in Europe, large online learning providers in the US, transport authorities in the Middle East, and organisations across the world.
Aha #2: Teams didn’t need giant reports — they needed clear, actionable guidance.
Automation Helps. People Matter.
We automated everything possible: API‑based audits, axe‑core scanning, and lightweight accessibility checks embedded directly into CI/CD pipelines. But automation only catches patterns, not real user experience.
To deepen our testing, we worked with people with tremors, people with cognitive and mental disabilities, and charities focused on digital inclusion.
Aha #3: Accessibility isn’t a checklist — it’s empathy, context, and human experience.
The Problem Today
With AI and automated tools everywhere, we increasingly see unusable sites being labelled “fully compliant” simply because they pass automated scans.
Aha #4: Passing tools ≠ being accessible. Human insight is irreplaceable.
Where It Led Us
Over the last 15 years, this work has grown into a collaborative network. We’ve automated accessibility‑aware CI/CD processes for numerous organisations, coached dozens of testers, and built a global community of developers, testers, designers, and executives committed to inclusive digital experiences.
Today, Maxy Accessibility is more than a single consultant — it’s a network of people aligned around one goal: making accessibility practical, achievable, and real.
Where to from here
We’ve never approached accessibility as a way to make money. In fact, it often cost us more than it earned.
What mattered — and still matters — is doing it properly. That means understanding what teams are trying to build, offering real options, and helping everyone grow in the process.
Our vision is accessibility that benefits everyone: better experiences for users, stronger margins for businesses, and more skilled developers and testers who gain confidence — and value — in their craft.
