Vision-Aid Launches Ability Bazaar - Talent With Disabilities. Apps Without Barriers.

Coverage of the launch: a marketplace where people with disabilities build websites and apps and audit them for accessibility, pairing AI tooling with expertise that only lived experience provides.

“Accessibility is moving from good practice to requirement.” The piece walks through what the marketplace actually sells - a free ABLE screening of one page, a bounded $199 scan strengthened by a blind or low-vision expert, $500 and $1,000 website or app launch packages, and workforce-training sponsorships - and why the people who meet digital barriers daily are the ones best placed to find them: “only someone who lives inside that experience can tell you that.”
