Upon researching this company it would seem that Digital A11ies
<https://digitala11ies.org>is a new Web accessibility company, based out
of Newark, Delaware. They acknowledge that the company is in its infancy
and their Web site reflects this. Their site contains two unlabeled
buttons along with several headings which seem to include placeholder
text. I hope that this company will be around for the long haul as it
would be great to have an accessibility firm in Delaware. Here is the
job listing.
