# Making the web accessible for everyone

We build accessibility software and carry out accessibility audits. We speed the work up with AI and complete it with our experts.

Our Story

## A little about how we got here

Guidami began as an R&D project supported by TÜBİTAK, Türkiye's scientific and technological research council. When we set out, we believed an AI assistant could solve web accessibility in its entirety. After roughly two years of development, we ended up somewhere very different from where we started.

The more we learned about accessibility and the more we tested the product with real users, the clearer it became that this assumption was wrong.

People's experiences of disability can differ greatly. Visual, hearing, motor and cognitive differences have little in common, and sometimes occur together in the same person. This variety means that every person's needs are different. A problem the assistant solved for one user could remain completely unsolved for another.

Our second lesson was about standards. Meeting the WCAG criteria is necessary, but may not be sufficient on its own: a page can score full marks in an automated scan while a screen reader user still cannot complete an order on it.

With the AI assistant we are aiming for a paradigm shift; however, there are many people who cannot use such an assistant or who will find it hard to change their habits. This is why we are broadening our products and services, making businesses' platforms more accessible for users across different disability groups.

With the same aim, we have begun putting our team through IAAP's CPACC and WAS training and certification.

Today Guidami is not only software but a team that offers software and audits together. AI detects the issues, fixes the common ones automatically and drafts alt text for images that have none; our experts carry out the audit and the final assessment.

We continue to work on the assistant. Our assistant, which lets people shop by speaking, is in beta; we are improving it with the feedback we get from users.

Our principles

## Four principles we stick to

### Accessibility is our priority

We believe the web should be equally and easily accessible for everyone. We shape every product and decision so users can have the best possible experience, regardless of ability.

### We create value through innovation

Accessibility can be complex and time-consuming with traditional methods. Through innovation we make the process faster, smarter, and more effective.

### We are transparent in everything we do

We value clear and straightforward communication. From pricing to the solutions we deliver, we stay transparent at every step and clearly share what we do and how we create value.

### The standard is the measure, the person is the goal

WCAG is how we measure. The goal is that someone using your site can finish what they came to do. Our audits look at both.

## Built around global standards

Guidami helps you work towards accessibility standards and regulations worldwide.

### WCAG 2.2

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (A & AA)

### ADA

Americans with Disabilities Act

### EAA

European Accessibility Act (2025)

### Section 508

U.S. Federal Accessibility Standard
