Accessibility Training for Content Authors
Create Content That Everyone Can Read, Understand, and Use
Accessibility is not just a developer’s responsibility.
Content authors play a critical role in making digital experiences usable for everyone—from how content is structured to how links, images, forms, and documents are written.
This training helps content teams create clear, structured, and accessible content across websites, documents, and social media.
