State of the eNation Reports

Since 2003 AbilityNet has published a widely acclaimed quarterly 'State of the eNation' report, each one focussing on a different online sector. We test representative websites for practical accessibility and usability. Below is an excerpt from the press release that accompanied our latest State of the eNation report, and a list of links to all previous reports.
