Specialist support

Accessibility work is most useful when it helps your team make better product decisions—not when it simply produces a long list of defects.

While automated scanners can handle the bulk of web analysis, native iOS and Android applications remain technical walled gardens. The deep, code-level access required to truly evaluate mobile accessibility cannot be fully automated. If a formal audit maps the current state of your estate, my specialist support is about jumping into the trenches with your team to solve these complex, platform-specific challenges.

Think of me as your team’s accessibility co-pilot. Instead of throwing a dense WCAG rulebook at your developers, I help them translate complex standards into plain-English, achievable outcomes across both web and native mobile. We focus on what matters most: reducing cognitive friction, ensuring real-world usability, and making sure your digital product is calm, intuitive, and works for everyone.

Where I can help
#

  • Native Mobile & Interaction checks: Automated scanners can’t penetrate compiled mobile apps. I provide code-level, manual evaluation for iOS and Android, focusing on touch targets, native focus management, and device-specific mobile gestures so users never feel trapped or confused.
  • Early reviews: Catching design friction early (journeys, screens, components) before they become expensive engineering problems in your web or mobile builds.
  • Assistive tech & Hybrid testing: Combining automated web tools with rigorous manual screen reader testing (including VoiceOver for iOS and TalkBack for Android) to bridge the gap between “technically compliant” and “actually usable.”
  • Practical WCAG & Clear translation: Turning dense accessibility standards into clear product decisions and developer-ready tasks—no box-ticking allowed.
  • Post-fix support: Directly supporting your team to verify fixes and ensure the intended user outcome was successfully reached on every device.

What you get (The Outputs)
#

  • Impact analysis: Clear, jargon-free explanations of how issues actually affect real users (including those with neurodivergent traits or using assistive technology).
  • Dev-friendly guides: Concrete remediation advice, code examples, and practical demonstrations of better design patterns for both web DOM and native mobile UI.
  • Prioritised tasks: Actionable recommendations ranked by real-world urgency and user impact, not just WCAG failure levels.
  • Verification notes: Detailed, clear feedback after your team implements changes to keep momentum going.

Is this a good fit?

This service is designed for teams that need expert, on-demand judgement alongside active delivery work. It’s a perfect fit when you need to:

  • Navigate the unique “walled garden” challenges of native iOS and Android accessibility compliance.
  • Review a specific feature, user journey, or complex component pre-launch.
  • Unblock an engineering team stuck on a tricky interaction pattern or native mobile behavior.
  • Refine and bulletproof a cross-platform component library or design system.
  • Sense-check and verify in-flight accessibility fixes.
  • Decide whether your product is ready for a full, formal audit.
