Our goal

Our physical offices, a gothic church built in 1882, are ADA accessible. If we can do that, surely you can make your digital interactions with your internal/external customers more accessible. While we acknowledge that our website is in a constant state of improvement, increased accessibility is a goal we strive towards with each iteration of our site. We are working to provide universal access to our site by following WCAG 2.1 guidelines.

An accessible web for all

Accessibility at its core is about ensuring that everyone, regardless of abilities, can navigate digital spaces in a frictionless way while maintaining a like experience for all visitors. We’ve put accessibility at the forefront of everything we do at Northern Ground, physically with our offices, digitally with our website, and extending into our client work.

We're equipped with the tools to assess accessibility comprehensively and our team of UX specialists adds a human touch to ensure we’re catching things automated tools simply can not. The WCAG guidelines are always evolving and they help us gauge progress and prioritize improvements. We understand that the fine balancing act between design and accessibility go hand in hand and we're committed to creating a seamless user experience without compromising on aesthetics or functionality.

Strategic partnership with shared values

While we work with a wide variety of tools, we've partnered with SiteImprove for years because of their expertise and commitment to accessibility. They are active members of the IAAP (International Associate of Accessibility Professionals) and W3C (Word Wide Web Consortium) who help define & evolve the WCAG accessibility guidelines. Their tools have been the most comprehensive and intuitive tools we’ve used to date and they continuously update to adhere to the latest changes in both technology and accessibility guidelines.
