Accessibility and Inclusivity
Accessibility and inclusivity are embedded into everything we do, from discovery through launch and beyond. Accessibility is not a checklist item, but a core pillar of our work. We aim to exceed compliance by prioritizing real-world usability.
Hey Nova ensures every site we deliver meets WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards and is built with semantic HTML and W3C coding best practices. Accessibility gets evaluated at multiple points throughout the project, from initial wireframes to final development, ensuring barriers are identified and addressed early.
Purpose-driven
Our top priority is using technology to make the world a better place. That's why we partner with purpose-driven organizations and nonprofits driving real social progress.
Whether it's educating the next generation of change-makers or helping small businesses serve their communities, you can count on Hey Nova's values and our commitment to tech with a purpose.
Women-led
Motivated by the tech industry's underrepresentation of women in leadership roles, our co-founders, Kirsten and Bryony, built Hey Nova to be an inclusive space where people of all genders are valued.
We are co-founded by women, led by a woman, and majority employed with women. Projects benefitting women, like Blooming House and Hackergal, continue to hold a special place in our hearts. Hey Nova will always reflect the change we want to see in the tech industry!
Remote Forever
By working remotely, we keep our schedules flexible and accommodating to all employees. We benefit from increased productivity, better work/life balance, and the freedom for everyone to curate their own physical workspaces according to their needs.
Hey Nova maintains a remote forever work policy and has plenty of experience working remotely with other teams.
