We’re committed to creating digital experiences that are accessible to everyone. The digital world should be easy to use, so we offer tools and services to expand access and inclusion.
Our approach
Inclusivity
We design for diversity from the start, considering the needs and perspectives of all your users—including those with different abilities, languages, cultures, and ages.
Usability
We believe that digital products should be easy for everyone to use, regardless of disability, background, or context of use.
Accessibility
We create experiences that are accessible to people with temporary or permanent disabilities.
Compliance
We ensure that your digital properties comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 Standards, and conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Guided by our open-source tools
Y—MatterType
Most applications don’t maintain line-heights specified in designs, an accessibility issue that can prevent assistive iOS features like Dynamic Type and Bold Text from working at all. Y—MatterType accurately renders line-height, scaling up with changes in text size and weight.
Y—CoreUI
Color-contrast issues can easily compromise accessibility. We built Y—CoreUI to effortlessly test the contrast ratio between any two colors, across all possible color modes, in milliseconds. So you can get to WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, faster.
Y—A11y Coming soon
Developers don’t always have the background to write accessible front-end code. We are building Y—A11y, an accessible-component library, to make coding for accessibility easy and error-free, whatever the project or framework.
Our Process
Assessment
We audit the accessibility and inclusivity of your current digital experiences and provide a summary of required and suggested improvements.
Design and development
We can improve the accessibility and inclusivity of your apps and websites, or build accessible products from the ground up.
Training and education
We train internal teams, providing education around how to design and develop accessible, inclusive technologies.
Content creation
We offer accessible, inclusive digital content creation. From imagery to videos to motion graphics, we create accessible content that seamlessly integrates with your native and web experiences.
Technology that empowers us all
Screen readers
Screen readers audibly read the content on a web page to users with visual impairments. Examples of screen readers include JAWS, NVDA, TalkBack, VoiceOver, and braille display devices.
Closed captioning
Closed captioning displays text on the screen to provide a transcript of audio content for the deaf or hard of hearing.
Alternative text (alt text)
Alternative text describes images on a web page for people who are visually impaired. This text is read aloud by screen readers.
Keyboard and voice navigation
Keyboard and voice navigation allow users to navigate a website or application using only their keyboard or voice control.
Color contrast
High color contrast between text and background makes it easier for people with visual impairments to read text. YML developed Y—Core UI to check for color-contrast issues during development.
Video and audio transcripts
Video and audio transcripts are useful for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
