EdTech Solutions — Accessibility Solutions / Accessible Document & Asset Design

Accessible by design, not by fix-up

We set up templates, components, and illustration briefs so accessibility is the default. Writers and designers get guardrails that make the right choice the easy choice.

Accessible by design, not by fix-up — Digital Pathway
What this includes

Everything you need for Accessible Document & Asset Design, without the gaps

We handle the whole chain so you do not have to stitch vendors — and we show our work at each step so you can trust it.

Template & style design

Word, InDesign, Google Docs, and slide templates with correct styles, reading order, and colour-contrast built in.

Asset design

Figures, tables, and infographics designed for screen-reader and low-vision access — pattern plus colour, sufficient stroke, and text alternatives.

Caption & description systems

Guidance and examples for alt-text, long description, and caption writing that serves learning, not just compliance.

Component library

Accessible components for web readers, PDFs, and courses — with usage notes for designers and authors.

QA gates

Lightweight checklists and tooling that run in authoring, not just at the end.

Reference pack

A concise standards-to-pattern map so your team can answer 'is this WCAG AA?' without a law degree.

Why Digital Pathway for this

A team that has done this before — and learned where it breaks

We keep the parts that consistently improve outcomes and remove the theatre that only looks good in a pitch deck.

Designers who use assistive tech

Our team tests with screen readers and magnifiers as part of design, not after.

Templates people will actually use

We make the accessible template the fastest way to work, so adoption sticks.

Audit patience

When auditors push back, we stand behind the patterns with evidence and alternative approaches.

How it works

Four steps, no black boxes

01

Map patterns

We map your content types to accessible patterns and components.

02

Build templates

We build and test templates plus example docs across tools.

03

Enable authors

Workshops and cheat-sheets give authors confidence.

04

Govern

QA gates and sample audits keep new content conformant as volume scales.

WCAG

We work to WCAG 2.2 AA across perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust principles. For documents this means proper heading structure, meaningful reading order, sufficient contrast, alternative text, and tagged tables and lists. For digital experiences it means keyboard operability, focus management, and ARIA where needed — and never where native semantics will do. We validate with a mix of automated checks and manual screen reader and keyboard testing on JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, and we document decisions so a future team can defend them.

section 508

Section 508

For Section 508 we align to the Revised 508 Standards (which incorporate WCAG 2.0 AA) plus procurement realities of U.S. federal and state buyers. We author VPATs and ACRs that state what is supported, partially supported, or not applicable — with remarks that are specific to your product, not copy-pasted. For legacy portfolios we prioritize issues that block procurement (keyboard, captions, tagged PDFs) and sequence remaining work by learner impact, so you can ship progress quickly without waiting for a perfect release.
