The As It Should Be approach
We love helping good people have greater impact by making products and services that don’t exclude Disabled people or cost the planet. Whether as a guiding partner or as teachers embedding knowledge, we help make accessibility and sustainability a part of how work gets done.
We’ve been building fast, accessible websites since the ’90s. Now, our clients tap into our knowledge and experience to work with accessibility and sustainability in mind. We guide your approach, embed knowledge, and establish long-term strategies to put accessibility and sustainability at the heart of your organisation.
Know more; do less
Investment in knowledge reaps great rewards. We invest in our own learning to do better at something, whether that’s to get a better job or in pursuit of a favourite hobby or sport. We invest in our teams so that they work more effectively and are more productive.
Time and effort put into learning about accessibility and sustainability is repaid many times over.
We don’t believe in checklists, plug-ins or widgets. We believe that accessibility is a mindset: a way of thinking and a culture shift. It’s the starting point of new creative and digital experiences, not the end.
Embrace diversity
Life is messy and complicated. As humans, we like models and frameworks to help make sense of the world. But this can get us into trouble by restricting our thinking or trapping us in behaviours that are outdated or unhealthy.
We don’t enjoy putting people in boxes, or thinking in them either. We care a lot about a lot of things, and we talk about a lot of things too. That’s just who we are. And that’s how we like it.
Context is key
By looking at the context, we create the solutions that are needed and sustainable. This means that our work is not driven by audits; rather it’s driven by understanding human need and the world around us, and finding solutions that adapt to each person’s situation and operate within our planetary boundaries.
Progress, not perfection
We don’t believe in trying to be perfect. In doing so, we can destroy our sense of motion, momentum and achievement.
Our work is about being more aware and taking small steps in the right direction – towards doing things in better ways.
Are we a good fit?
We work best with purpose-driven organisations, ethical brands and good causes because we love to help open up and amplify the good work that they do. We want everyone to be free to benefit from this good work.
If this sounds good to you, working with you sounds good to us.
