Conceptualizing and developing AI-powered app MVPs from the first idea to a working product.

Personal platforms: Nutrycoach.ai (AI nutrition coaching with role-based dashboards for clients, coaches, and admins, AI meal analysis, and a scalable design system) and LuxuryBandit (content/creator app). This led to my own practice 'AI-assisted App Strategy', which combines human creativity, UX logic, and intelligent automation.

About the technology
Accessibility standards
WCAG, short for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, is the main international reference for making websites, web applications and digital content usable by people with disabilities. The guidelines cover perceivable, operable, understandable and robust experiences. They address visual, auditory, motor and cognitive access needs across browsers, devices and assistive technologies.
What WCAG supports
WCAG expertise applies to public websites, customer portals, mobile interfaces, design systems and content platforms. Specialists help teams improve:
- Keyboard navigation, focus order and visible focus states
- Semantic structure, headings, labels and alternative text
- Screen-reader output, form feedback and error handling
- Contrast, text resizing, zoom and responsive behaviour
- Captions, transcripts and accessible media controls
Guidelines and tooling
Professionals work with WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2, while interpreting success criteria at Level A, AA and AAA. Their toolkit may include axe, Lighthouse, WAVE, browser accessibility trees, screen readers such as NVDA and VoiceOver, and manual keyboard testing. Strong work combines automated checks with human review.
When specialists help
Companies bring in freelance expertise when an audit exposes barriers, a redesign is underway or accessibility must become part of delivery rather than a final check. This is useful for procurement evidence, product remediation, accessible content operations and training internal teams. In Berlin, specialists may support local product groups on-site or collaborate remotely across international teams.
From audit to remediation
A useful engagement produces more than a list of failed criteria. Specialists map findings to affected user journeys, explain impact, prioritise risks and provide clear remediation guidance. They can review Figma designs, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, component libraries and content, then retest fixes and document remaining limitations.
Signs of strong expertise
Look for professionals who can explain WCAG findings in plain language and connect each issue to real user behaviour. They should distinguish automated results from verified barriers, test with multiple browsers and assistive technologies, and work constructively with design, product and development teams. Good specialists also understand accessibility statements, conformance claims and ongoing regression testing.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about WCAG, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
WCAG is used to guide the design, development and review of accessible websites, web applications and digital content. It helps teams identify barriers involving navigation, structure, media, forms, contrast and assistive technology support.
WCAG defines the requirements and success criteria, while tools such as axe, Lighthouse and WAVE detect only some potential issues. A reliable review combines automated scanning with keyboard checks, screen-reader testing, visual inspection and testing with disabled users where appropriate.
A strong WCAG specialist often understands semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive design, design systems and content accessibility. Experience with Figma, ARIA, NVDA, VoiceOver and accessibility-focused quality assurance is also valuable.
The right level of WCAG expertise depends on the scope, risk and maturity of the product. A focused review may need an audit specialist, while a complex remediation programme benefits from someone who can work across product, design, content, engineering and compliance.
WCAG work is well suited to remote collaboration because audits, design reviews, issue tracking and retesting can be handled online. Berlin teams may still prefer on-site workshops for discovery or training, while clear documentation and shared testing environments support distributed work.
WCAG is written for web content, but its principles are also widely used when evaluating web applications, digital documents and mobile experiences. For native mobile products, specialists may combine WCAG guidance with platform-specific accessibility requirements and conventions.
Ask a WCAG freelancer for a defined scope, tested user journeys, recorded evidence, prioritised findings and practical remediation advice. The deliverable should separate automated warnings from confirmed barriers and explain how fixes will be verified.
A capable WCAG professional can explain the affected success criteria, reproduce issues with keyboard and assistive technology testing, and describe the user impact without relying on jargon. They should also show how they collaborate with teams and how they prevent the same barriers from returning.
