At Nexer, we are passionate about making the benefits of the web accessible to all.
Our mission is to help our clients achieve their accessibility goals and create products and services with users at their heart. We offer a range of ways to identify opportunities for improving accessibility in your digital products and services, raising awareness in your teams, and help your organisation take the next steps on its accessibility journey.
What is Digital Accessibility?
Digital accessibility ensures that your website, app, or software is usable by people with different abilities, including those using assistive technologies. It's not only a legal requirement but also a social responsibility and a business opportunity. By making your digital products accessible, you can:
Reach a wider audience: Engage the 24% of U.K. adults with disabilities, expanding your user base and market reach.
Improve user experience: Enhance customer satisfaction and retention rates by providing an inclusive and seamless user experience.
Boost SEO and revenue: Improve your SEO ranking, increase conversion rates, and drive revenue by making your digital presence more accessible.
Mitigate legal risks: Reduce the risk of legal action, fines, and reputational damage associated with non-compliance with accessibility standards.
Show commitment to inclusion: Demonstrate your commitment to inclusion.
Digital Accessibility: The statistics (Scope)
There are around 16 million people with disabilities in the UK
Around 1.5 million people have a learning disability
Approximately 2 million people are living with sight loss and 12 million have hearing loss greater than 25dB
Less than 5% of the top million websites globally are fully accessible, as reported by WebAIM's Million Report 2024. This highlights the widespread need for improved accessibility in digital products.
By prioritising digital accessibility, you not only comply with legal standards but also embrace a broader, more inclusive approach that benefits everyone. Our team at Nexer is dedicated to helping you achieve these goals and create a more accessible digital world for all.

Case study: Improve access for Bupa's 45m customers; From accessibility audits to a full service accessibility strategy
Read how Nexer partnered with Bupa to make their products and services more accessible and cultivate an inclusive culture through accessibility audits, inclusive usability testing, and training and awareness-raising for teams across the organisation.
The biggest learning is that without advocacy and education there is little awareness across our teams of the problems that need to be solved… By working with Nexer we have now managed to give accessibility a seat at the Executive table
