Aw, shucks. We want net-progress to be all about you. But thank you for wanting to find out more about us...
Re-formed in the Summer of 2018, we're effectively a brand new digital accessibility and digital inclusion specialist agency.
Founder Paul Crichton first grasped the importance of digital accessibility after a chance meeting with a partially sighted student in 2003. During the conversation, the student revealed that he felt at a disadvantage compared to his peers, as he could not access the same digital information. This did not seem fair to Paul, and he decided to do something about it. He created his first WCAG compliant website in 2004, and he has been working to make the internet a more equal place ever since.
Paul has worked on hundreds of projects in both the private and public sector. He was the principal accessibility lead on the Transport for London redesign in 2014, and has also worked on projects for Crown Commercial Service and for NHS Digital to meet GDS Service Manual requirements. He has also provided accessibility support for many other public sector organisations over the years. Paul is still inspired by the stories people tell him about the positive impact of the digital world has on their lives, and net-progress continues to work with the end user in mind.
