Under the name Alverdae, I have been performing services to improve the accessibility and sustainability of websites and online documents since the end of 2023.
This is also reflected in the name: "al" stands for 'all people' and "verde" stands for 'green planet'.
In the logo, the name is written with a lower case letter to emphasise that everyone is the same, even letters.
Why choose Alverdae?
Certified professional
By hiring a certified professional, you can be sure you’re dealing with someone who knows what he's talking about. I am IAAP CPWA-certified. This means I am a certified web accessibility professional.
Experienced in various roles
With over 18 years’ experience as a web editor, webmaster, customer success manager, auditor and consultant, I am able to understand the various challenges faced by different organisations. You will therefore benefit from my holistic approach and practical solutions.
Lasting solutions
My aim is ultimately to make myself redundant. I therefore help your organisation to develop lasting solutions and build up its knowledge, so that you can take control yourselves.
Action-oriented audit reports
My audit reports can be viewed and used by issue, by section or by success criterion. The results can also be exported to CSV and imported into Jira or other ticketing systems.
Fixed and fair prices
I mainly work with fixed prices that are agreed in advance. This prevents any unpleasant surprises later on. Because I work in a minimalist and efficient way and don’t have a large office, I’m able to keep my prices low.
Independent, but not alone
I am the only employee in my company, but that doesn’t mean I do everything on my own. I have an international network of various professionals with whom I collaborate. This enables me to scale up easily for larger and more complex projects.
All customers are equal
I believe it’s important to treat everyone equally. Whether you work for a small or large organisation, you’ll always receive the same level of attention, and I’ll help you as best I can.
No lock-in
All the products and services delivered belong to you, and you are free to do with them as you wish. Furthermore, I do not offer proprietary, in-house tools; instead, we make smart use of what is already available.
Establishment and taxes
The company Alverdae AB is a Swedish aktiebolag (comparable to a limited company) founded by Sander Nijsingh and based in Gislaved, Sweden. From the end of 2023 until the beginning of 2026, this was a sole proprietorship.
I am tax liable in Sweden. You can of course just do business with me from the Netherlands, Belgium or other countries. However, I will need your VAT number. This is because then I can send an invoice without Swedish moms (similar to VAT). This is also called "VAT reverse charge" and means that the country in which the customer is located can levy the VAT.
All you then have to do is add the VAT yourself in your accounting, e.g. 21% in the Netherlands. You can then deduct this again as input tax, so that on balance you pay €0. If necessary, ask your accountant for more information.
Accessibility
I have completed various education and training courses in the field of digital accessibility. In addition, I hold an IAAP CPWA certification.
It is my goal to make my communication accessible and therefore I do an internal check before sending anything. If you still experience problems with accessibility, I will do my best to solve them.
Sustainability
It is also my goal to carry out my work in the most sustainable way possible. I do most of my work from home, where I use 100% fossil-free energy. My food and drinks are organic as much as possible. When I travel on business, I prefer to use public transport.

AI
I use artificial intelligence (AI) as little as possible. Read more about this in my AI statement.
