About us
Accessibility, tested by the people it's for.
Access Drum is a Sofia-based accessibility company with a simple premise: the best people to find barriers in your product are the people who face them every day.
She can climb mountains. But can she use your website?
Our story
From lived experience to a QA discipline.
Access Drum started when our founders — QA engineers who rely on assistive technology themselves — kept meeting the same problem: accessibility reports written by people who had never used a screen reader for more than a demo.
So we built the team we wished existed. Today our testers work with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, Dragon, switch devices and 200%+ zoom — not because a checklist says so, but because it's how they use the web every day.
“We don't simulate disability. We employ expertise that comes from living with it.”
Talk to our team What we stand for
Three principles behind every engagement.
01 · Lived expertise
Real users, real assistive tech
Every audit is performed by QA professionals with disabilities. First-hand experience surfaces the real-world barriers automated scanners and simulation tools miss.
02 · Usefulness over paperwork
Fixes, not just findings
We deliver sprint-ready priorities and pair with your developers until issues are closed — not a 200-page PDF that sits in a Drive folder.
03 · Business honesty
Accessibility as advantage
We'll tell you what's legally required, what's high-impact, and what can wait. Compliance is the floor; reaching 24% more of the market is the point.
