Orbit UX raises $14M to unveil Accessibility Studio, a design-first accessibility QA platform

Accessibility Studio offers live checks inside design tools, automated scans for color contrast and focus order, and a managed human-audit marketplace for complex pattern reviews. Orbit UX emphasized that catching accessibility issues during design dramatically reduces remediation costs downstream.

The Series A funding, led by Inclusive Capital, will expand audit capacity and deepen integrations with Figma and prototyping stacks. Accessibility Studio also supports CI hooks so accessibility regressions can block releases until triaged.

Design teams piloting the tool reported improved designer awareness and fewer last-minute accessibility fixes during engineering sprints. Orbit plans to add reporting templates for regulators and procurement teams, making it easier to demonstrate compliance during audits.
