About Inclusive App craft
I build technology without barriers.
I'm Archebold Degraft Acquah, an accessibility specialist in Accra. Through Inclusive App craft I design and build software that lets everyone — including the people the digital economy has historically ignored — take part.
My story
Inclusive App craft started with a simple observation: the software shaping modern life is still, in 2026, unusable by huge numbers of people.
Screen reader users navigating checkout flows built for a mouse. Older users squinting at hairline grey type. People on low-bandwidth connections locked out of "modern" web apps. Governments and NGOs stuck with tools nobody on their team could actually maintain.
I started Inclusive App craft to build the alternative — a practice where accessibility, performance, and craft are the defaults, not the upsell. Where I can partner with a startup or a ministry and ship software that measurably works for more people.
I'm based in Accra, and I build for the world.
Mission
To build technology without barriers — software and platforms that work for everyone, including people historically excluded from the digital economy.
Vision
To do accessibility-first work that stands among Africa's best — known for craft, inclusion, and building things that last.
Values
What I believe, and how I work.
Inclusive by default
If a product doesn't work for everyone I can reach, it isn't done.
Craft matters
I sweat the details because users can tell when I don't.
Ship, then improve
Small, well-tested releases beat big, uncertain ones. Every time.
Honest partnership
Clear estimates, honest trade-offs, no invented complexity.
Build to hand over
Codebases and docs your organisation can own long after my engagement ends.
Global ambition, local roots
Built in Accra, deployed everywhere. I take both seriously.
Why accessibility matters
Roughly 16% of the world's population lives with a significant disability. That's more than a billion people. And it's before you count the temporarily impaired (a broken arm, a bright screen in sunlight, a noisy environment), the situationally impaired, and older users whose vision or dexterity has changed.
When I design and build for these users first, the result is software that is better for everyone: faster, clearer, more resilient, and easier to maintain.
- WCAG 2.2 AA is my baseline, not my ceiling.
- I test with real assistive technology on every project.
- The components I build are accessible primitives, not visual shells with ARIA sprinkled on top.
- I train your team so accessibility survives past my engagement.
Accessibility specialist
Archebold Degraft Acquah
I'm the person behind Inclusive App craft — I do the auditing, the building, and the accessibility work myself, so the person you talk to is the person who does the work. I also build Webscan, my accessibility testing platform, and use it to hold my own projects to the same standard I set for clients.
Get in touchCollaboration
For larger engagements I bring in trusted designers and engineers I've worked with. If you're an accessibility specialist, designer, or developer who shares this approach, I'd like to hear from you.
