Company brief description

We make information accessible to everyone, enabling confident use and participation.

With this goal in mind, we assist public institutions, responsible businesses, and social organizations in crafting their messages to reach all people. We provide consultation, development, and a blend of accessible communication, striking design, and sophisticated technology.

As an agency for accessible communication, we have been active in the web and design sector for 25 years. Our expertise in accessible websites, inclusive advertising materials, and complex TYPO3 projects makes us the go-to partner for accessible and sustainable brand presentation.

Through passionately organized learning and exchange formats, initiatives, and events for children, youth, and the tech community, we are a recognized player and driver of the digital scene in the Nuremberg metropolitan region and beyond.

We run our agency in a collegial and self-organized manner, using a proprietary participatory operating system. Small, autonomous teams take responsibility for their areas of work and make decisions by consent. Transparency and co-determination are central principles, enabling all team members to actively shape the company. Conflicts are resolved collegially, and regular exchanges within circles ensure smooth collaboration across all areas.

Company and ECG

We align our actions consistently with the values of the Economy for the Common Good (ECG), aiming to integrate societal responsibility with sustainable business practices. Working on our first Common Good Report has highlighted how closely our approach aligns with the principles of the ECG and where we make a particularly strong contribution.

Our collegial and self-organized structure fosters transparency, participation, and solidarity. Decisions are made collectively by consent, and all employees actively shape the company. This approach not only promotes a respectful and dignified work culture but also enables sustainable, community-driven solutions.

Another key focus of our work is accessibility. We do not see barriers as inherent but as avoidable obstacles that can be prevented through deliberate design. Accessibility benefits everyone and enables genuine societal participation through inclusive designs and accessible digital solutions.

Beyond our organization, we contribute to fair conditions and ecological sustainability. We cultivate long-term partnerships with suppliers and clients, ensure humane working conditions, and prioritize regional and sustainable providers. In this way, we combine our internal structure with a clear societal benefit.

B2B Portfolio

We support public sector organizations and private companies in embedding accessibility and inclusion into their communication, digital offerings, and processes. Our work combines technical expertise, a deep understanding of accessibility, and a collaborative approach. We view accessibility not just as a legal obligation but as a strategic advantage that enables participation and creates competitive benefits.

We develop accessible websites, optimize digital and printed documents such as PDF forms, presentations, and reports, and advise on inclusive communication and administrative processes. We evaluate existing systems and digital applications for barriers and provide design consulting and practical solutions for their optimization. These services are equally available to public sector organizations and private companies, including support for meeting the requirements of the “Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz” (BFSG) in Germany.

Our training sessions and workshops are interactive, practical, and tailored to the needs of our clients. They not only impart knowledge but also empower participants to create accessible content independently and integrate it into their workflows sustainably.

With our experience and collaborative approach, we deliver solutions that exceed legal requirements and provide lasting value for our clients and their target audiences.

B2C Portfolio

Direct collaboration with private individuals is rare for us, as we primarily support companies and organizations. Nevertheless, our work always focuses on the benefit to end users — the people who ultimately interact with the products and services of our clients.

Our accessible websites, documents, and digital solutions are designed to be usable by everyone, regardless of their individual abilities or limitations. This means: easy navigation, clear content, and genuine inclusion for all. Through this approach, potentially everyone benefits from accessible and inclusive offerings that simplify everyday life and empower people to act confidently and independently.
