About
Who We Are
Welcome to Allyship, a service dedicated to advancing accessibility and inclusion in the digital world. We believe that technology should empower everyone, regardless of ability, to navigate and engage with the web seamlessly. Our mission is to create a digital landscape where no one is left behind.
The Founders' Journey
My name is Aleksej Dix, and I am the co-founder of Allyship. The path to creating this service has been deeply personal and rooted in my professional experiences. With over 20 years of expertise in frontend development, user-centered design, and accessibility, I've always been passionate about building digital solutions that make life easier and more inclusive for all.
I am joined by my wife, Lidia Dix, who is an exceptional executor and manager. Her ability to organize, lead, and bring out the best in everyone has been instrumental in shaping Allyship. With her natural talent for helping others and ensuring projects run smoothly, she adds a unique and invaluable dimension to our mission.
Growing up, I witnessed the challenges faced by people close to me who had disabilities or unique needs. Watching them struggle to access information, communicate, and fully participate in society planted the seed for what would eventually become Allyship. As I pursued my career in technology, I began to understand how thoughtful design and innovation could bridge these gaps.
Over the years, I've honed my skills as a frontend developer, earning recognition for designing intuitive and accessible interfaces. However, I've also seen firsthand how many companies overlook accessibility, treating it as an afterthought rather than a fundamental aspect of development. This lack of prioritization inspired me, along with my wife, to step up and take action.
Why Allyship?
Accessibility is not just a checkbox to tick off; it's a mindset and a responsibility. At Allyship, we aim to educate, empower, and equip organizations with the tools and knowledge they need to make their platforms accessible to everyone. Our approach is rooted in three key principles:
-
Empathy-Driven Design: Understanding the diverse needs of users is at the heart of everything we do. We work to ensure that all voices are heard and represented in the solutions we create.
-
Practical Expertise: With years of experience working on high-traffic products and upgrading systems for performance and inclusivity, we bring proven strategies to the table.
-
Advocacy for Inclusion: Accessibility is more than compliance; it's about fostering a culture of inclusion that benefits businesses and users alike.
A Vision for the Future
Allyship is more than a service; it's a movement toward a more equitable digital future. By collaborating with forward-thinking companies and individuals, we aim to:
-
Improve accessibility standards across industries.
-
Educate teams on inclusive design practices.
-
Build tools that simplify accessibility implementation.
Whether you're a startup, a large enterprise, or an individual looking to make your digital presence more inclusive, Allyship is here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we can create a web that works for everyone.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Let's make a difference - one accessible solution at a time.
