Accessible Writing for UX Writers and Content Designers

Every writer knows that the internet would be a collage of colors, shapes, and white space without our words – our content, our strategy, our understanding of customer desires and business KPIs. Which is why content practitioners are the most important, yet underutilized resource in digital accessibility.

We work with headings, body copy, labels, buttons, links, forms, errors, and so much more every day. Each piece of content is an opportunity to connect, convert, and share meaning. For disabled customers, each piece of content can also represent a barrier.

Icon buttons with no labels, learn more links that require investigation, images without descriptions, text that disappears, multimedia content with no text equivalent.

Probably no one taught you how to write these things. More importantly, you may not have realized that this was part of your job. And that you're in the perfect role to do it.

I see you. This was me 8 years ago.

This course contains everything I've learned about accessible writing, how to embed it into systems, and how to champion it within an organization.
