Real people with disabilities testing real websites

At ADA Ally, we believe the best way to test accessibility is with the people who actually use assistive technology every day. Our team includes blind, low-vision, and mobility-impaired experts who bring authentic lived experience to every audit.

Why Our Team Makes the Difference

While other companies rely on theoretical knowledge, our team lives with disabilities every day. We understand the frustration of inaccessible websites because we experience it firsthand. This authentic perspective ensures your site works for real users.

Daily Users

Our team uses assistive technology every day, not just for testing

Authentic Testing

We catch issues that automated tools and theoretical audits miss

Our Mission & Values

We're building a more accessible web through authentic expertise, honest solutions, and meaningful employment for people with disabilities

Lived Experience First

We believe the best accessibility experts are those who use assistive technology daily. Our team brings authentic perspective to every project.

No Snake Oil

We refuse to sell overlays, widgets, or quick fixes. Real accessibility requires real work, and we're committed to honest, lasting solutions.

Meaningful Employment

We create careers for people with disabilities in tech, proving that diverse perspectives make better products and stronger teams.

Universal Access

Our goal is a web that works for everyone. Every site we improve brings us closer to true digital inclusion.

"Making the web accessible to everyone, everywhere"

We envision a digital world where disability is not a barrier to information, commerce, entertainment, or opportunity. Every website should welcome all users, regardless of how they access the internet. Through expert testing by people with disabilities, we're making this vision a reality - one site at a time.
