Accessibility Services for Artists
More Canvas Consulting

At More Canvas, we believe that the internet is a public utility which should be accessible to everybody, regardless of impairments and disabilities. So, if your website is large and sophisticated, we’re here to make sure that all features comply with international guidelines for digital accessibility. If your website is smaller (and your budget is too!), we’re here to provide you with the assistance you require.

To qualify for the artist program, your website must be about your artistic output/career and have fewer than 15 pages.
