Documentation Accessibility | 3di Information Solutions

Documentation that can be found, accessed, and used by anyone

Accessibility is one of the key components for creating truly inclusive technical documentation. This means creating an environment where any user can freely and easily access the content in your documentation, regardless of their ability. Not only does making your documentation accessible mean that everyone can find, access, and use your information, but it also builds brand trust. Accessibility principles improve your documentation for all users by increasing comprehension, enforcing good design principles, and optimising for translation and localization.

As technical writing specialists, not only are we aware of the current standards on the market (such as the EEA), but we are also experts in implementing them into your documentation. We have in-house staff who are passionate about documentation accessibility and can help ensure your technical documentation is accessible to all.

What are the core principles of documentation accessibility?

At 3di, we follow four principles in line with W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) to ensure your content is accessible to users with diverse needs. By following these principles we design content that is easily perceivable, navigated, understood, and supported across a range of assistive devices and technologies.

Perceivability

Present your content in ways users can perceive, for example, use alternative text and captions for images and videos.

Operability

Ensure your users can navigate and interact with the content using a variety of means, for example by using just the keyboard.

Understandability

Write clear, easy to understand information, and ensure your UI is intuitive to use.

Robustness

Make your content compatible with current and future technologies.
