Sacramento, California · Working with clients everywhere
I build accessible, secure websites for small businesses and nonprofits.
Hi, I’m Dwayne Davis. I work closely with you to bring your vision online, then make sure the result is secure and usable by everyone, including the one in four adults who live with a disability. Every site I ship is tested with real screen readers and meets WCAG 2.2 AA.
Selected work
A few recent projects. Each one is built to be fast, readable, and fully navigable by keyboard and screen reader.

NFB of California, River City Chapter
A single-page site for the Sacramento chapter of the National Federation of the Blind: meeting details that update themselves, how to join, and how to get in touch. Screen-reader first, with a light/dark theme that follows the visitor’s device.

Cookies & Cuddle Farm
Web and fundraising work for a small animal sanctuary nonprofit. I evaluated donation platforms and banking options by testing them with screen readers, not by reading the vendors’ marketing, so that supporters with disabilities can give as easily as anyone else.
Site in progress

CPACC study tools
A free study guide, practice quiz, and 100 flashcards for the IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies exam. Interactive, keyboard-operable, and built to work well with screen readers.
How I work
Plain language, no surprises. You don’t need to know any jargon; I’ll explain each decision and why it matters for your visitors.
-
Listen
We talk through what your business or organization does, who your visitors are, and what you need the site to accomplish. I’ll give you a clear scope and a fixed price.
-
Build
I write clean, fast pages with accessibility built in from the first line, not bolted on at the end. You’ll see progress at every step and can review on your own phone or computer.
-
Test
I test every page with VoiceOver, JAWS, and NVDA, with keyboard only, at 200% zoom, and in both light and dark mode, then run automated checks and a security review before launch.
-
Launch and support
Your site goes live on fast, secure hosting with HTTPS, security headers, and automatic deploys from GitHub. I hand over the keys and stay available for updates.
Tools I use
I pick the simplest tool that fits the job, so your site stays easy and inexpensive to maintain.

Why clients trust me
-
I use a screen reader every day
Accessibility isn’t a checklist for me; it’s how I use the web. When I say a site works with VoiceOver or JAWS, it’s because I used it myself.
-
Six-plus years at Apple
Escalating roles in customer support, product insights, and training taught me how to explain technology clearly and to fix problems the first time.
-
Accessibility trainer and tester
I’ve trained blind and low-vision users on screen readers at the Society for the Blind, and I’ve tested products for accessibility as part of Fable’s community of testers.

Rooted in the community
Member of the National Federation of the Blind of California, River City Chapter, and committed to the idea that small organizations deserve great, inclusive websites too.
