Accessible templates
Accessible Word and PowerPoint templates your team can keep using.
Fixing documents one at a time gets expensive. Templates built for Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA mean every new fact sheet, report and slide deck starts accessible, in your brand.
Every template is tested to the HHS checklists and comes with a conformance note.

How it works
From your documents to your templates.
We start with the documents your team makes most, and build templates that make the accessible choice the easy one.
Review. We look at the fact sheets, reports and slides your team makes most, and where they fall short.
Design. Templates in your brand, with styles for headings, lists, tables and colors that pass contrast.
Test. Each template is tested to the HHS checklists, including a PDF saved from it.
Hand off. A short how-to guide shows your team how to keep every new document accessible.
Why templates
Accessible by default, not by memory.
The rules are built in
Headings, reading order, table structure and contrast live in the styles, so authors don’t have to remember them.
One look across every piece
Every document your team makes matches, whoever makes it.
Less to fix later
Files made from an accessible template need far less remediation before they’re posted.

Questions we hear
Templates, in plain language.
Will the template stay accessible when my team edits it?
The template does most of the work. Authors still need to write alt text and use the built-in styles, and the how-to guide shows them how.
Do accessible templates help with ADA Title II and Section 504?
Yes. Both rules use WCAG 2.1 AA, and our templates are built to it, so every document your team makes from them starts on the right foot. Authors still need to use the built-in styles and write alt text.
Can you build templates in our existing brand?
Yes. We work inside your brand, or create a clear visual system if you don’t have one yet.
What does a template kit cost?
It depends on how many templates you need and how complex they are. You get a fixed price after a short conversation. Projects start at $4,500.
