It’s been an eventful year at HeX Productions, giving the gift of accessibility across the land. With the year coming to a close, we wanted to share with you the hard work and achievements from our dedicated team over the last year.

There are one billion people around the world with some form of disability, making up around 15% of the global population. Many face barriers each day, isolating them from certain aspects of society. This unequal access can impact upon areas such as employment, education, transportation, and social participation.

One year ago, I joined the HeX Productions team as their Digital Engagement Manager. I come with over 20 years experience in communications and marketing. So, you would think I would have known how to make my content accessible for all. I thought so too – but you would be wrong. This blog looks into what I’ve learned, so far, on my accessibility journey and ways that you can improve your content.

In the UK, one-in-five people have some form of disability. Organisations have a responsibility to ensure their digital platforms are accessible. If it isn’t, you could be breaking the law, along with losing custom.
