Our Story


Knowbility mobilizes companies around the powerful idea of universal access to information technology (IT).  We remove technology access barriers and give your company the knowledge to ensure that your online services are available to everyone - including people with disabilities, the aging customer, and those with alternative and mobile browsing devices.

Started in 1998 as a mission-driven company dedicated to ensuring that people with disabilities were included in technology opportunities, Knowbility has developed accessibility expertise, an array of services and a network of skilled technologists that is unparalleled.  

Knowbility’s nonprofit programming is unusually entrepreneurial, appealing to the healthy competitive spirit of IT design companies to engage them in the issue of access to technology for people with disabilities.  As a result, companies like Mapquest, GSD&M, Fusion Learning Systems and many others have come to depend on Knowbility’s experience and leadership in maintaining accessibility standards.  The passage of state and federal laws have increasingly mandated these standards, and Knowbility has become the logical and trustworthy source for information, training and accessible IT development services.
