Digital for every human
OpenAccess works with clients across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia to make websites and apps more accessible for disabled people, and better for everyone.
What we do
Accessibility audits
Digital products can look fine while still excluding disabled people. Audits find the barriers and show how to remove them.
Team training
Training for digital teams that want to build accessibility in from the start. Learn to spot barriers before they become expensive problems.
Ongoing support
Work with us on an ongoing basis to embed accessibility into your development process from day one — avoid expensive rework later.
What is accessibility?
Digital accessibility means designing things so disabled people can achieve their goals like everyone else — kind of like the digital equivalent of ramps.
Services can have barriers for people with vision, physical, cognitive, neurological, or reading disabilities. Accessibility removes those barriers. Accessibility is essential for disabled people, but good accessible design generally helps everyone.
1 in 6 New Zealanders identify as disabled.
With an ageing population, accessibility is becoming more important. We can help ensure nobody is excluded from using your products and services.
What people say
One of the devs mentioned he’d been to a few accessibility workshops before, and said they didn’t come close to this one.
Training participant
We onboarded a new blind customer. They gave us very positive feedback about our website’s accessibility thanks to the advice you gave us!
Website owner
Accessibility isn’t optional. It’s a human right.
