Kim Vigsbo

I’m a digital accessibility consultant focused on ADA Title II compliance, PDF remediation, and accessibility project management.

Since 2010, I have helped organizations develop digital experiences that are accessible to everyone. Accessibility isn't just the right thing to do - it's smart business.

What I Offer

• ADA Title II Compliance: New regulations require municipalities, school districts, courts, and transit agencies to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, with deadlines starting April 2027. I provide comprehensive audits, hands-on remediation, project management, and staff training to ensure long-term compliance.
• PDF Remediation: Inaccessible PDFs are a common compliance issue. I remediate documents to meet WCAG and PDF/UA standards, ensuring they are compatible with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies. This service can be standalone or part of a broader program.
• Accessibility Project Management: I manage the process, so your team can stay focused on what they do best - while your accessibility work moves forward without gaps or surprises. Structured. Clear. On Track.

Beyond these core services, I provide VPAT/ACR documentation, role-based training, UK and European accessibility consulting, and fractional support (5–15 hours/week).

What Sets This Apart

With 15 years of experience, I emphasize the “why”, not just checklists - making accessibility sustainable.

You get strategy, execution, and someone who truly gets accessibility. All in one.

I hold a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Graphic Design, with a solid foundation in visual communication and user experience.

I am a member of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals.

I am currently studying for the CPACC.

I've been a web developer since 1995 - when websites were new and digital accessibility wasn't yet a focus.

As a neurodivergent person, I saw firsthand how small design choices could make digital spaces either welcoming or frustrating.

That personal experience shaped my approach to web design from the start.

Around 2010, I officially started focusing on digital accessibility. It was a natural step, merging years of web design know-how with a genuine passion for making digital spaces accessible for everyone.

When something deeply affects your life, you tend to notice details others might miss.

Over the years, I’ve worked with major companies like:

• Microsoft
• Wharton University
• Penske
• American Express

During my 3 years at American Express, I guided digital projects through every stage of their journey, ensuring accessibility was included from the first idea to the final launch. I rewrote the standard operating procedures for the entire project lifecycle, with role-based responsibilities that made accessibility everyone's job.

As a digital accessibility ambassador, I constantly promote inclusivity, raise awareness, and influence culture through education tailored to different roles and needs.

I am the founder of Accessibility Business Academy, an educational platform and community for entrepreneurs who want to build or grow a business focused on digital accessibility services.

Life outside digital accessibility is anything but quiet.

I've been teaching Krav Maga since 1985 - these days, I focus on private training, which means more personalized, high-impact sessions.

When I'm not in training mode, you'll find me in my Japanese-inspired garden, which is exactly as peaceful as it sounds.

I love cooking, especially seafood dishes.

I'm almost done writing a book about digital accessibility for business owners - written entirely without technical jargon, for people who are brand new to the subject. It's the book I wish had existed years ago.

As someone who is neurodivergent - Dyslexic with Auditory Processing Disorder - I'm deeply drawn to communities where people learn and think differently. That connection fuels both my personal and professional life.

I'm passionate about rescue dogs, and my own dog is living proof that the best companions come from second chances.

And then there's Minecraft. Growing up in Denmark, the land of Lego, building things is practically in my DNA. I've spent hours constructing a large Japanese city from the Edo period - hundreds of buildings, all in meticulous detail. It's part creative obsession, part digital history project, and 100% worth every hour.
