Heidi Valles

Developer & accessibility specialist

Services

I’m a friendly, reliable consultant and developer offering high-quality deliverables with clear communication and processes.

I’ve recently re-opened my schedule for aligned consulting & development projects and am currently booking for Winter 2026/27

Web accessibility consulting for studios

Over the last 15+ years, I’ve worked with the Inclusive Design Research Centre, Excellence Canada, Accessibility Services Canada, and others to provide consulting and compliance auditing for clients.

I also work directly with web studios to provide support beginning early in the build process, ensuring accessibility isn’t tacked on as an expensive afterthought, but deeply ingrained in a project throughout all stages.

I offer async web accessibility consulting via initial project briefs, design reviews, staging site reviews, formal WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 (A and AA) audits, and additional advisory support.

I’m also available as an RFP partner, just contact me first 🙂

Development for design studios

As a developer for 20+ years, I offer various website build options, depending on what a project needs.

A Microsite/custom static site with no CMS – works well for brochure sites and landing pages where the client won’t need to update content themselves. Starting at $5k.

A WordPress site with a custom block theme – suits non-profits and small businesses that want easy content management. Starting at $8k.

A Custom build website or web application – uses whichever technology fits the project’s requirements, geared toward large organizations or projects with specific functionality needs. Starting at $15k.

Features can be extended with add-ons like e-commerce, membership portals, booking systems, multilingual support, and custom integrations.

All projects include:

  • High-fidelity, responsive theme built to exact design specifications (Adobe XD/Figma/etc. mockup)
  • WCAG-compliant accessible code
  • SEO support
  • Staging with 2 rounds of revisions (a round is one consolidated list of feedback)
  • Hand-off package or set up on client host

These are development-only rates in CAD.

Working with me

As a consultant and developer who is also a caregiver, I prefer taking on projects that have room to breathe and enjoy working with partners who value balance.

I typically communicate async over email after an initial introduction call.

Please email me for project quotes and scheduling. And if you have any access needs that our collaboration process could help accommodate, please let me know!

Need a website?

I work B2B with studios but if you are a nonprofit/business in need of an accessible website, I have recommendations! Just send me an email and I will connect you with one of my wonderful partners.
