Our story

In a world where digital technology is increasingly intertwined with our daily lives, we identified a growing problem in 2022: many websites and web applications were simply not accessible to everyone. As experienced IT professionals, we were confronted daily with digital barriers. For us, this wasn't just a technical problem, but primarily a missed opportunity to make technology truly inclusive.

From this observation, focusring.io was born, founded by a group of passionate IT programmers with a shared mission. We all had years of experience in developing complex digital solutions, but we also saw how accessibility was often forgotten or added as an afterthought. We believed this had to change.

Our name - focusring.io - wasn't chosen by chance. The focus ring is an essential element in accessible web design, helping users navigate with a keyboard. It symbolizes exactly what we stand for: making digital technology accessible for everyone.

Our Mission

From our experience in IT, we know that digital accessibility is often seen as an afterthought. At focusring.io, we believe there's a better way. Having worked in the trenches for decades, we understand that digital accessibility must be integrated into every step of the development process, from planning to testing websites and (web) applications. We combine our technical expertise with practical accessibility knowledge to always create sustainable solutions.

Our approach

We distinguish ourselves through our technical background and data-driven methodology. Through our experience as software engineers, we can:

• Provide detailed technical insights into accessibility issues
• Deliver concrete, implementable solutions
• Effectively train developers in accessible programming
• Guide organizations in integrating accessibility into their development processes

Impact & experience

We have experience working with leading technology companies and financial institutions, including ABN AMRO, Rabobank, Xebia, and Deloitte. Our technical expertise and pragmatic approach make us the ideal partner for organizations wanting to anchor accessibility in their digital DNA.

Why digital accessibility is essential

Globally, more than 1.3 billion people live with some form of disability - from visual and auditory impairments to dyslexia and cognitive challenges. As a technology company, we believe accessibility isn't just a checkbox, but a fundamental component of quality software development. By incorporating accessibility from the foundation, we're building a digital world that truly works for everyone.
