Content Production and Accessibility
Content production and accessibility are usually treated as separate problems handled by separate people. Treated together, accessibility stops being a retrofit.
Content production and accessibility are usually treated as separate problems, handled by separate people, at separate times. Treated together from the start, accessibility stops being a retrofit and becomes part of how the content gets written in the first place.
An excellent digital service requires exceptional content. Our content production professionals understand your platforms, your users, and the accessibility requirements that apply to your service, and they produce content that meets all three. We also help existing teams develop the skills and processes to maintain content quality independently.
How we help
- Web and platform content writing: content written for the specific platform it lives on, not generic copy dropped into a CMS.
- Accessibility compliant content: structure, language, and formatting that meet accessibility standards by default.
- Content audits: existing content assessed for quality, consistency, and accessibility gaps.
- Content team capability building: training your team to maintain content quality after the engagement ends, rather than creating ongoing dependency.
Technology
- accessibility standards frameworks including WCAG
- CMS specific content workflows for Infoweb and SharePoint
- plain language and readability tooling
- multilingual content production
Why it matters
Accessible content and well written content are usually the same content, clear structure, plain language, and logical heading hierarchy serve both screen reader users and someone skimming on a phone. Treating accessibility as a separate checklist applied afterward usually produces worse writing on both counts.
