One billion people are designed out of the products we ship.

Roughly one in six people lives with a disability. Every time a button is too low-contrast, a tap target too small, a focus state invisible — someone is quietly shut out. Not by malice. By a gap in the tools.

Designers were never the enemy of accessibility. They were never given the right tools.

Accessibility has lived in the wrong place — bolted on at the end, in a developer’s ticket queue, in a compliance officer’s spreadsheet. Far from the frame where the decision was actually made. So it gets caught late, costs weeks, and breeds resentment.

We believe accessible design is simply better design. Clarity, focus, structure, contrast — everyone benefits. WCAG is the floor, not the ceiling. The goal was never to pass a checklist. It was to make something good.

So we built Aulys to make the right thing the easy thing — in Figma, in code, in your scans, in production. One connected loop that catches the issue early and teaches you why, so next time you don’t make the mistake at all.

And we hold ourselves to it in public. This site is built to AAA, and we publish its real Aulys grade once it’s live and scanned. If we can’t ship an accessible website, why would you trust us with yours?
