About Us

Empower Ability is a social enterprise. We were formed to provide a specialist consultancy service which is designed to be hassle-free for our clients and is delivered by a team of highly trained professionals.

Your website is the most powerful marketing tool you have. Therefore it is of paramount importance that it does not compromise on brand consistency. We will only make recommendations that will enhance your website, and increase the number of people your website is able to reach. Our recommendations are not just about accessibility but also about usability, meaning that non disabled users can use your website more effectively and efficiently.

Our aims

In accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, the Disability Rights Commission and the W3C guidelines, our key social aim is the promotion of the concept of the internet for everyone, irrespective of any sensory, physical or cognitive difficulties they may have. We work closely with our partners to achieve this goal.

In addition, we aim to make the internet as user-friendly as possible for disabled and non-disabled users alike, and to promote brand consistency in online products. As well as the services we provide, we promote our aims through the giving of Empower Ability Accessibility Awards and through the publication of our articles on accessibility and usability.

What is a social enterprise?

A social enterprise is a business with primarily social objectives. Surpluses are principally reinvested in the business for the furtherance of its social aims or invested in the community. Therefore, social enterprises do not distribute profits to shareholders or owners.
