For instructional designers and L&D teams

Courses built accessible from the first draft, not fixed at the end

We design and build online courses that meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA from the first draft, so accessibility is part of the build rather than a fix at the end.

The right fit

Who this is for

Instructional designers

Designers who need an additional team member. We build the course alongside you and hand back work that already conforms.

In-house teams

Small teams shipping more modules than they have time to build. We design and develop the overflow, in your tools, to your style guide.

Corporate L&D

Training global organizations across industries. We build the new courses and rebuild the ones already rolled out.

Higher education

Instructional designers supporting faculty. We design across platforms, so accessibility isn't bolted on after the term starts.

Already have courses live and need to know what is failing? Start with an accessibility audit instead. Know what is broken already? Go straight to remediation.

The problem

What usually goes wrong

Retrofitting costs more than designing correctly. The rebuild lands eight weeks in, usually in front of a stakeholder, and the designer carries the delay.

Nobody should have to choose between shipping on time and building something every learner can use.

Our approach

How we work

We work through storyboarding, design, build, and review together, with working sessions along the way. Larger engagements run as full project-based course design, including remediation of existing material where that is the faster route. We build in your authoring tools and inside your LMS, whichever ones you run.

The deliverable

What you receive

Storyboarding and design

Structure, flow, and accessibility planned together before anything gets built.

The built course

The process

How it works

1

Scope the build

We agree on modules, tools, and timeline before anything is designed.

2

Design and build accessibly

WCAG 2.2 and Universal Design for Learning applied as we go, not at review.

3

Hand off with documentation

You get the course plus a record of how it was built, so your team can maintain it.

Schedule a Consultation
I needed help creating my Moodle course. While I was familiar with online course content, I was new to the Moodle platform and its many features and settings. Nicole was knowledgeable and resourceful, always ready with a good idea, suggestion, or answer to my questions. She helped me think through my ideas and suggested practical ways to bring them to life in my course. Nicole was also instrumental in guiding me through H5P interactives, which was completely new for me. I’m confident that the result will be a great course that many teachers will sign up for and benefit from! If someone is undecided about working with Nicole, I’d suggest they give it a try. After just one week, I knew she’d be a great resource. She’s professional, personable, and truly helpful.

Schedule a Consultation

Small projects such as a single activity or short lesson usually run a few weeks. Multi-module courses are scoped individually. We agree the timeline before design starts.

Yes. We work alongside in-house instructional designers regularly, either building sections directly or advising while your team builds.

Storyline, Rise, and the major learning platforms including Brightspace, Canvas, and Moodle. If you use something else, ask and we will tell you honestly whether it is a fit.

Existing courses are usually better served by an audit first, then remediation. Course design is for work that is being built now or rebuilt substantially.
