Evinced

Goodbye, 2024. We're very mindful that it was a tough year for many. But it's worth saying that we have a lot of optimism about 2025, at least in our corner of the universe. There has been and continues to be real progress in accessibility, and we are part of that. It's easy to say we're in the business of making software, or even the business of preventing accessibility bugs. But what we're really in the business of making... is hope. That's something, on this New Year's Eve. Best wishes from all of us at Evinced. We're thinking about you. Photo credit: baona, iStock
