JB A11y Solutions is run by Jemma who has a wide variety of skills and is able to offer customised solutions in many areas. Jemma Volunteers her time for free to assist churches, small not for profit organisations, charities and individuals.
The A11y part of our name is a niche reference to Jemma’s love of all things technology and social media!
When Twitter was first launched users were limited to 140 characters meaning individuals had to find new ways of communicating and condensing longer words. The term A11y was organically created to mean accessibility with the number 11 representing the eleven missing characters.
The abbreviation is still used today online and on Twitter (even though we now have more characters) Jemma chose to use the abbreviated term as recognition to the pioneers who have gone before her highlighting issues of accessibility and inclusion online.
