Mouse-Only Navigation
Your website has a navigation menu that cannot be accessed using a keyboard. This makes it difficult or impossible for users with mobility impairments to navigate.
Lack of Alt Text
Images on your eLearning platform or website lack alternative text descriptions. This prevents users who rely on screen readers from understanding the content.
Insufficient Color Contrast
There is text on your site with poor contrast against its background. This makes it hard for users with visual impairments to read the content.
No Captions for Videos
Your educational videos lack closed captions or transcripts. This excludes individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing from accessing the information.
Broken Links
Some links and buttons are not set up correctly or are not clearly labeled. This creates barriers for users who rely on assistive technologies.
Dynamic content without updates
You have form validation messages or error notifications that aren't set up to notify assistive technologies. This leaves users unaware of changes.

Hi, we're Matt & Vanessa
We learned eLearning the hard way, so you don’t have to.
We once sat on the client side of eLearning projects which went terribly wrong. Budgets were blown, time was lost and eLearning developers weren't working with us.
We ended up with a product that wasn’t needed and had to spend more money to fix it.
Afterward, we explored the project pain points and worked to define what a better process should look like.
Nobody could offer us what we needed, so we founded Simple Movement to ensure that nobody ever has to experience what we did!
That was all the way back in 2015. Since then, we've been helping organizations just like yours to launch online education and training that engages learners and delivers on business KPIs, without breaking the bank.
