About Elevage Digital

Why Elevage Digital?

We follow proven best-practices: We keep up with the latest industry changes and separate what’s important from what is a temporary fad. We don’t rely on shortcuts, gimmicks, tricks, shady or out-of-date practices; we are not trying to “game the system”. Instead of using overlays, we custom-build and remediate websites to meet the current version of Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) for true accessibility.
We create custom solutions: Our services are tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.
We focus on long-term results: We build sites and strategies for authentic, long-term results to achieve your organization’s mission, vision and SMARTEST goals.

About Renee Dunn, CPWA

Renee Dunn is the Principal Consultant for Elevage Digital. She has been a web developer for over 25 years. Shortly after starting Elevage Digital in 2022, she participated in WordPress Accessibility Day and was saddened by the extent of issues that exist on websites across the Internet and how many people are excluded from products and services as a result.

Over 96% of website homepages contain accessibility failures. Making a website accessible is a complex, detail oriented process. Renee is naturally drawn to problem solving and bringing order to chaos, so accessibility testing and remediation felt like a natural niche.

Throughout her professional career, Renee has gravitated to working with non-profits, public service and mission-driven organizations. They understand that improving website accessibility and usability helps everyone and it aligns with their organization’s values.

Over the years, Renee has seen well-meaning organizations add accessibility overlays and toolbars to their site because they were crunched for time, had a limited budget and thought they were doing a good thing. While these products claim to solve all of your accessibility needs, improving accessibility is like learning a new skill. There’s no “easy button” that let’s you skip the hard work.

Understanding the tension that exists between time, budget and the need for results, Renee helps organizations accomplish quick wins while simultaneously creating a custom plan for long-term, sustained accessibility that reduces their legal liability and has the potential to expand their website conversions.

She has earned her Certified Professional in Website Accessibility from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals.
