The Web Accessibility Directive is a legal requirement aimed at increasing digital accessibility.
The legal requirement means that all users, regardless of their abilities, should be able to access the information in a document and use its functions.
We help you create accessible templates in Microsoft Office, customize your graphic profile and train your staff in the creation of accessible digital products.
For those working in local governmentCustomer case

Send us your documents and we will review them free of charge! Within two working days, you will receive a report with any comments - free of charge. Of course, you will also receive an estimate of the cost of any necessary corrections if you choose to use our experts.
We use WCAG 2.1 to review your documents!
Make sure to have larger line spacing, shorter lines of text, divide paragraphs and use subheadings.
A screen reader does not read what is in the header or footer. Information located here must therefore be picked out and placed as part of the text flow. But it is sufficient to do it on the first page.
Using the Check Accessibility feature under the Review tab, you can scan through the document and see what Microsoft finds that you can improve. The log that appears at the right edge of the screen shows, among other things, which items you need to tag with alternative texts.
You can also get suggestions for line spacing to help you follow the text on the line.
For more information from Microsoft on the Check Availability feature, please follow the link.
If you use the built-in heading formats, the reading tools will recognize that the text is a heading and you will not need to label the heading otherwise.
Make graphical adjustments such as color choices and high contrast. Consider adding alternative text to everything that is not text. Describe pictures, diagrams and figures for those who cannot see them.
