We believe in the power of knowledge
So let's look at how accessibility affects the digital space
98.1% of 1,000,000 websites tested in February 2020 failed accessibility testing - and that’s just from automated tests!
22% of Canadians have at least one disability that affects their sight, hearing, or dexterity. 54% of adults living with a disability currently go online.
88% of online shoppers won’t return to a website after having a bad user experience. When you make your website accessible you give everyone the best user experience.
Does your website work for everyone?
These are ways we are able to help you find out.
Through an empathetic human lens we aim to ensure your success in reaching full accessibility and providing ALL your users with the best experience possible.

Our overall experience with Hey Nova was, in short, easy. They worked closely with us on large and small projects, while providing valuable insight to better our understanding of accessibility. They delivered all feedback in one go, which allowed us to be more efficient for faster client turnaround times. The owners, Kirsten and Bryony, really care about accessibility. Not only do they care about being compliant, but they care about the human aspect of accessibility and how it feels to someone with accessibility needs.

Stepping boldly into the future of tech
We believe in a future of tech that is inclusive for all. This future sadly won’t be realized without an evolution in how we work. As being in the only 5% of tech companies founded by women, we are passionate about seeing the industry become more inclusive, diverse, and equitable.
Our years and combined experiences means the team brings a novel perspective to the table. We take these perspectives and work to actively shift industry norms every day through the products we build, by advocating for inclusion, and by mentoring others as they navigate barriers in tech.
