Every business deserves an accessible website

How it started

I didn't set out to start a business. I set out to fix something that bothered me.

Early in my career as a frontend developer I saw the same pattern everywhere: teams shipped beautiful websites that completely broke for anyone using a screen reader. Buttons with no labels. Forms that trapped keyboard users. Checkout flows that only worked with a mouse. Not because anyone was careless, but because no one on the team had ever tested with assistive technology.

When I moved into accessibility engineering at Allyant, I saw the scale of the problem firsthand. I audited websites and mobile apps for dozens of companies, testing with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack across browsers and devices. The failures were everywhere: on government portals, university platforms, e-commerce sites. Real people were being locked out of services they depended on, and most of the businesses behind those sites had no idea.

Later, working as an accessibility specialist for the City and County of Broomfield, I saw how much impact one person could have inside an organization. I led training programs, built accessible document templates, and rolled out digital access standards that changed how an entire government office published content. Teams that had never thought about accessibility started asking about it in every project meeting.

But I also noticed something: the companies that needed the most help were the ones that could afford it the least. Large enterprises had in-house compliance teams. Small and mid-size businesses had nothing. They were exposed to the same legal risk, their customers faced the same barriers, and they had no one to guide them through it.

That's why I started Uxaria Studio. Not to build another consulting firm, but to give every business, regardless of size, access to the same expert-level auditing and hands-on guidance that used to be reserved for organizations with big budgets.
