It’s Worth the Effort

Accessibility simplifies and improves interactions with blind customers, employees, and employers. Accessible documents are useful to more than blind users. Most of the features added to increase accessibility also make projects easier to use for a wide variety of people.

*	Keyboard users
*	Those with small screen devices
*	Dictation software users
*	People using automated tools to gather information on documents, webpages, and other media.
*	Some accessibility features can make a project easier to migrate to other platforms or formats. 

Creating accessible documents can be simple and powerful for anybody to incorporate into their workflow. Accessibility boutiques and seminars are workshops presented by our access technology experts that provide introductions to accessibility best practices and the latest trends in access tech.
