Wow your customers with easy to navigate documents. And they’re accessible too!

January 19, 2016 By Allayne Woodford

We all like to peruse a document in different ways, whether it’s simply reading from front cover to back cover, scanning a table of contents to pull out the pertinent sections, or hitting the executive summary and leaving things there. This is something we should remember when creating our documents as well, so adding as many navigation options as possible increases the ease of readability for all end users.

Can I make a document accessible?

November 17, 2015 By Allayne Woodford

Accessible documents are a key part of any digital accessibility strategy and relatively quick and easy to implement. A question that we are frequently asked is “can I create accessible documents myself?” We all use Word and other standard programs every day, so it can’t be that hard. At first glance, creating accessible documents might seem to be within the reach of anybody with a bit of basic training, but it is very easy to become stuck in common accessibility problems with no way of knowing how to fix them.

When it comes to creating accessible content, the usual focus is on headings, images and use of colour. These are all important issues that can really help deal with accessibility, but they are not everything.
