Adee App

Designing for people suffering from different types of disabilities such as color blindness, motor and/or vision impairments can be easily forgotten because most designers aren't suffering from any of these types of disabilities! When web sites, applications, technologies, or tools are badly designed, they can create barriers that exclude people from using the Web. Unfortunately, currently many sites and tools are developed with accessibility barriers which caused the rise in lawsuits during last couple of years. Since 2016, increasing number of website accessibility lawsuits (such as Target or Domino's Pizza) shows lawsuits can hit just about any industry.

By Adee designers can simply design products that are accessible, ethical, and inclusive. Adee is a comprehensive and full-service accessibility tool and extension for various design platforms such as Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, and soon Canva and more platforms. Adee helps designers to improve accessibility of their projects based to WCAG standards by testing color contrast and applying changes if required, color-blind simulator and generator, checking size of touch targets such as buttons and links , alternative text generator and possibility of sharing with other team members and more.
