Client testimonials

We’ve received great feedback on our full range of services, and we’d like to share some of this with you.

"The DRC's investigation into website accessibility found that a lack of appropriate equipment and training prevented many disabled people from exploiting the liberating potential of the Internet to the full. AbilityNet is second to none in addressing these issues."
Michael Burton, Disability Rights Commissioner

We did an in-house DDA compliance check for Anglo American. This is what they had to say:

"AbilityNet did a great job of assessing our company’s accessibility compliance status. I was very happy with the way the project was handled and the clear guidance provided. I'd certainly recommend such a quick and straightforward method of finding out your current DDA situation. We can now focus on defining an action plan aimed at achieving full compliance across the board."
Sue Liderth, Group IM Head of Knowledge Management, Anglo American plc

Kellie from DSGI said this after our bespoke training course:

"I thought the session was a real eye opener and showed me some simple, quick wins that will be easy to implement. I was so motivated, I’ve already downloaded the AIS tool and asked our website developers to think about improvements to our corporate site!"
Kellie Evans, Group Communications Manager, DSGI

Between 2005 and 2006 we delivered in-depth audits of every Cadbury-Schweppes website, numbering well over 200.

"Many thanks. The audit reports were just what we were looking for and the constructive feedback most helpful. We appreciate you turning them around in a tight timeframe."
Jos Smith, Web Compliance and Effectiveness Programme Manager, Cadbury Schweppes plc

Our disabled user testing service often produces very positive comments from our customers.

"A range of interesting and useful issues arose from the disabled user testing which have enabled us to make significant improvements in both accessibility and usability. It's a cost-effective and efficient way of exposing those issues disabled visitors to your site will be confronted with in reality. We also found the AbilityNet team extremely helpful with high quality and efficient support."
Mark Bowman, Head of Electronic Media, BAE Systems

UnumProvident on receiving the See it Right: UseAbility accreditation said:

"We are delighted to be the first UK corporation to receive this accreditation, which combines the expertise of the two leading providers of website accessibility knowledge in the UK ... We hope this new independent accreditation will become the acknowledged standard and that the logo will increase awareness of the various access issues affecting disabled people and encourage other UK corporations to follow our lead. Ideally, independently assessed user testing of websites should be part of all accessibility audits."
Joanne Hindle, Corporate Services Director, UnumProvident

Some other comments we've had include:

"The software accessibility report provided by AbilityNet was clear and comprehensive. All issues were explained well and illustrated where appropriate. Good professional work."
Steve Goodhew, Test Project Leader, Respond UK Plc

"Just to say thanks for such a prompt and comprehensive report. We are heartened by the fact that we would appear to have made good progress and we will be submitting shortly for the full evaluation."
Chris Peat OBE, Director of Business Strategy, Axia Interactive Media

"I was thrilled with your presentation which I thought was amusing and informative and, most importantly to me, had some very practical points in it on where to go and what not to do; the perfect fit. As a delegate it was the one seminar where I saw people taking lots of notes. Thank you."
Lucinda Harvey, Project Manager, Visitor Development and Access Initiative, Society of London Theatre

"Just a quick follow up to thank you for the day yesterday – the team took an enormous amount from it, and I feel like the entire project has been given a positive boost in the right direction. The question and answer format worked very well, and the presentation was indeed well planned, perfectly tailored and delivered with a flexibility which allowed the team to interrupt with questions"
Jef Davidson, Project Manager - MSN Websafe Crackers (MSN Online Internet Safety Campaign)

"We’re very pleased and encouraged by this excellent new resource from the BBC and AbilityNet. It explains in everyday language how the web can be made more user-friendly. This new resource will help plug one of the gaps we identified in our report on web accessibility which found that disabled people need better training and greater awareness about the ways that computers can help make the web easier to use."
Nick O'Brien, Director of Legal Services, DRC
