Accessibility for Content Creators

“We need to make every single thing accessible to every single person with a disability.”― Stevie Wonder

Impact

Accessibility is one of the most important parts of creating web services because when you improve the online experience for people with disabilities, you improve usability for all. In addition, you enhance trust in government, drive innovation, and extend service reach.

The quality of accessible content you create and share is the difference between a colleague or community member’s success and failure in their ability to accomplish a goal or receive essential services.

Your Responsibilities

• Everyone who provides the content to a document or website is a content creator. As a content creator, you have the responsibility to create an equitable experience for users of all ability levels. 
• The goal is to create content that is accessible as it’s created.
• Understand the State Accessibility Technical Standards and best practices for meeting compliance guidelines for all digital content you are producing.
• Website content creators need to understand how to use the Siteimprove tool and share progress on accessibility compliance with stakeholders.
• Understand how to create accessible documents and presentations. 
• Stay updated on accessibility best practices.
