Situation
You’re creating a digital document. You know there are rules for links, colors, and images, but you’ve missed them. You want to get your hands on simple, practical information designed to help you. Then you remember a vague story about a treasure chest containing a few nuggets on digital accessibility. All that’s left is to find it.
Information
Since December 2023, the Web and Digital Accessibility Service (Swan) has been sending you a monthly information sheet on a crucial point of digital accessibility. We offer you this treasure, nugget after nugget, to guide you in good digital and web practices.
Let us remember that digital accessibility is not an option: it is a legal obligation that we know is essential for some and useful for all.
Essential for some, in order to be able to consult, use or contribute to what is digitally offered, without being excluded.
Useful to everyone, because digital accessibility encourages us to consider any digital product from a quality perspective, thanks to compliance with current standards.
Our recommendations
Do not hesitate to consult our files whenever necessary and/or contact the Swan when in doubt. We are here to help you design and produce accessible.
