And I started Tab‑able because I want accessibility done properly, with standards that are high enough to represent disabled people fairly and honestly.
I believe good accessibility work starts with understanding the barrierspeople actually experience, then giving team practical, technically credibleways to fix them.
Accessible expertise, not automated noise
Automated tools have an important place in accessibility work. But they can’t replace human judgement.
Automated testing can spot certain types of problems extremely efficiently. It cannot reliably tell you what a disabled person will experience when they actually use an interface.
That’s why Tab‑able’s audits are built on manual testing, assistive technology and professional judgement.
I don’t use automation to decide whether something is accessible.
I use technology to remove the repetitive work around accessibility expertise.
Technology that gives accessibility expertise more time
The Tab‑able auditing platform removes repetitive reporting and administration from the accessibility workflow.
Unlike traditional approaches, this cuts out the time spent copying issues between spreadsheets and documents, formatting reports, and dealing with repetitive administrative dtasks.
Findings are captured once in a structured system, checked for quality, and then used to generate the deliverables.
You pay for real accessibility testing, analysis and practical recommendations, rather than producing paperwork.
Our platform gives you real value for money
Our auditing platform has multiple layers: manual expertise, structured data, QA, automation, human finishing, and reusable knowledge.
Automation handles the reptitive work. Human expertise handles accessibility.
We build technology with people in mind
Accessibility shouldn’t stop at the products we test.
I’ve designed Tab‑able’s internal processes and tooling with future accessibility professionals in mind too.
As Tab‑able grows, I want disabled employees to be able to contribute their expertise without having to work around inaccessible or inefficient internal systems.
The principle is simple:
Remove barriers from the work as well as from the products.

Where I’ve been speaking
2026
I spoke at WordPress Bristol on Understanding What Users Face, an introduction to digital accessibility based on the first session of my Digital Accessibility Series.
“Super accessibility event last night, thank you, Andrew Nevins, CPWA. It was fascinating to learn all about how society models disability, the tools disabled people use to access digital content, the barriers they face, and how we can adopt good practices.”
I spoke at WordPress Cheltenham about an accessibility issue that’s baked into every WordPress site by default. I gave a brief introduction to accessibility that went down really well, then explained what the problem is, why it matters for disabled users, and showed people how to fix it using a plugin I wrote specifically to address it.
2024
In 2024 I spoke at A11yBytes in Melbourne, Australia about a common accessibility problem that affects blind users, people with low vision, and people with physical disabilities or limited dexterity. Even though it was a lightning talk, I showed short demos of how the issue appears in popular screen readers and how jarring it can be. I also walked everyone through the solution so they left knowing exactly how to fix it.
From development to accessibility engineering
I’ve spent years working across accessibility auditing, and consultancy.
I’ve worked in digital since 2013. While my first eight years were spent in front-end development, accessibility was a significant part of my work throughout. The last five years have been dedicated full-time to digital accessibility consultancy.
I don’t want to just tell a development team “This fails WCAG.”
I want to help teams understand the full picture of an accessibility issue.
That includes what the user experiences, why the barrier occurs, what the underlying implementation is doing, how it can be fixed, what trade‑offs might come with the fix, and how to stop the issue from regressing in the future.
I also mentor accessibility professionals on ADPList, helping people build real auditing skills, understand the Accessibility API and grow their careers in a field that’s often confusing from the outside.
It keeps me connected to the community and lets me support the next wave of accessibility engineers.
What people say about working with me
“Andrew brings clarity and empathy to accessibility challenges with a focus on practical outcomes”
Gez Lemon
“Andrew is one of the most knowledgeable people in accessibility. He brings a wealth of knowledge and takes time to explain the reasoning behind solutions. He is attentive and detail oriented, and it always open to questions”

Professional accreditation
I’m certified through the International Association of Accessibility Professionals, and I’ve renewed that certification twice, every three years. Each renewal requires 55 hours of accessibility‑focused professional development, which I do through talks, webinars, further reading, and ongoing learning.
