You can choose from one on one training or group sessions, in house or by telephone.

Site Check/Audit
Badeyes leverages its partnership with Inclusive Media and Design Inc. to give in-depth Audits from a wide spectrum of Disabilities and delivers a report that can be understood by Managers and Programmers alike, contact us today at info@badeyes.com for a free Quote.
Consulting
Many companies already have skilled programmers and designers, as part of their team, however knowledge of accessible web design is not usually one of their strengths and very few employ people who are screen reader users.
This is where we can help you. Our hands on knowledge of screen reader technology and expertise in accessible web design can be used to help your current design firm achieve todays’ best practices and standards.
We can achieve this in person or over the phone.
WordPress Skeleton Theme
If you are familiar with WordPress and editing Theme files then we have an ‘Accessible Skeleton’ Theme you can download at Badeyes Skeleton Theme (.rar file)
It has all accessibility built in and comes with a style switcher that allows for 2 different options, black text on a white background (default) and white text on a black background (high contrast). You can easily add more styles sheets or edit the current ones.
It is currently HTML 5 compliant.
