Case Studies

A national publisher of school textbooks was faced with a publication deadline for its ebooks and new legislation requiring accessibility. Knowbility built a solution for them that included staff training, monitoring, and hands-on coding techniques that allowed them to meet their deadlines and the requirements of the law.

A company that designs interactive educational materials was required to make highly animated exercises accessible. By working with Knowbility, the company developed an innovative self-voicing mechanism for the Flash applications that exceeded the expectations of their client.

The Governor’s Office of Technology wanted to implement accessibility standards across all state agencies, but met resistance from small agencies that used WSIWYG tools and part-time web masters. Knowbility developed online resources, accessibility checklists, and training specific to the commonly used tools that helped the agencies begin to integrate accessibility into their development practice.

An online retailer of electronic equipment was faced with customer complaints about the usability and accessibility of their site. Fearing legal action, the company contacted Knowbility and worked together on improving the accessibility of the shopping cart and providing useful alternatives.
