            <h2>Accessible Events Platform</h2>
            <small>Price (subscription + usage): $1,100/year or $100/month subscription + usage (subject to change)</small>

            <p>
                When your planning an event there are often a lot of things to think about. 
                "Did I let them know the time?", "Do they have the link or know the room?", "Do I have all the speaker's materials?"
                And when someone asks you if you remembered to make sure it's accessible all you can think is, that that's one more thing to worry about.
                But this happens to most of us, we don't think about accessibility until someone asks us about it.
                But this isn't how it SHOULD be. Accessibility needs to be something we think about from the start and treated as a first class citizen.
                That's why we've built a purpose-built platform that will take that stress of one or a handful of people and put it on the platform (trust us, it can take it)
            </p>
            <p>
                But there is a lot to planning an accessible event and it can often be overwhelming and even more so if it's on top of the other planning responsibilities.
                So, often something gets missed or forgotten. Or even worse you've gotten feedback about the accessibility of the last event but you don't know what to do with it or you've forgotten and make the same mistake again. 
                This is where our Accessible Events Platform comes in.
            </p>
            <p>
                It starts with a simple set of questions that walk you through one by one to get you thinking about accessibility and what you need to do to make your event accessible.
                But it doesn't stop there because we know that planning an event is a collaborative process and that you need to be able to share your plans with others and get feedback and input from them.
                So we've built in collaboration tools to help you do just that. 
                And we've also built in tools to help you evaluate your event and get feedback from your attendees which shows up right at the start and tries to help you so that you don't have to worry about repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
            </p>
            <p>
                But no one is an expert in everything, which is why we went way passed just getting you to think about event accessibility and built a toolbox that you can pick and choose tools to use from to help make the event accessible including:
            </p>
            <ul>
                <li>An accessible website creator for your event website</li>
                <li>An accessible materials checker that can help make sure your promotions along with materials are accssible.</li>
                <li>A paid ask a member of the community feature</li>
                <li>A speaker preparation tool that can help your speakers prepare their presentations and materials to be accessible and will help you know where your at in collecting materials and making sure there is time to be accessible (that is send materials out ahead of time, or otherwise reschedule your event to allow for accessibility)</li>
                <li>Integration with our Event Support service (see the <a href="services">Our Services</a> page for details)</li>
                <li>A non-visual video editor that allows for anyone of any abilities to do video editing</li>
                <li>And much more!</li>
            </ul>
            <p>
                That's to say, our Accessible Events Platform is designed to be an all-in-one platform that helps people plan, execute, and evaluate accessible events of all sizes. 
                Whether you're planning a meeting of two people or a conference of thousands, our platform will guide you through the process step by step and help you create and have an accessible event without putting even more stress on you.

    <h2>Non-Visual Video Editor (Codenamed VAP-E)</h2>
    <small>Price (subscription + usage): $150/year + $0.17/minute (subject to change)</small>
    <p>While a prototype isn't available at this time anyone interested is invited to read the <a href="https://github.com/AlanBridgeman/VAP-E_Extensions_Docs">Extensions document</a> that have been put up.</p>
    <p>In addition to being a part of the Accessible Events Platform we also offer the video editor as a standalone product.</p>
    <p>
        Our Non-Visual Video Editor is designed to allow anybody, regardless of their abilities, to edit videos.
        Where most video editor, put an emphasis on being able to see a video in order to edit it we take a more inclusive approach and allow for editing of videos without the need to see the video through mechanisms like audio cues, and transcript insertions. 
        These cues help indicate where an action will happen and describe what that action is so that the user can make an informed decision about if that's the action they want to take at that point in the video.
        This allows us to make this a lot more accessible through mechanisms like forms and keyboard shortcuts.
    </p>
    <p>
        While we think this methodology will make it easy to use and learn with it's simple interface that is easy to navigate and understand. 
        It's often the case that when editing you'll think something aligns with what you want but when you play it back it's not quite right.
        And while our mechansim can handle this it can become quite a prolonged process compared to other editors and this is why we've built in certain AI assisted features that can help you get the video to where you want it faster and more efficiently.
