What is Accessible Design?

Taking the mystery out of accessible design. 

PDF Remediation | Indesign File Setup


Accessible design refers to the practice of creating products, environments, and services that are usable and inclusive for all people with special consideration for people with diverse abilities and disabilities. 


The primary goal of accessible design is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their age, physical or cognitive abilities, can access, understand, and use the designed objects or systems with ease and independence.

Where do we fit in?

David is an accessible designer and advocate, with over 30 years experience in the print and design industry. 


Whether it's print or digital, there's nothing more frustrating than a functional failure.


Great designs are only great if they function as advertised and are fit for purpose. It also helps if they look nice and are easy to use and create.


I started creating accessible forms and documents over 3 years ago and have added skills and qualifications to be as efficient as possible, pricing should be accessible too!

Key Considerations

There are certain tasks that need to be implemented, checked and applied for a document to be fully accessible. This is not nearly as complicated as it sounds.


  1. Document Structure
  2. Alt-Text for Images
  3. Text Content
  4. Hyperlinks and Buttons
  5. Tables and Data
  6. Colour and Contrast
  7. Reading Order
  8. Forms and Form Fields
  9. Language Specification
  10. Tagging and Export Settings
  11. Accessibility Checker
  12. Testing with Assistive Technologies

Why use accessible design?

Why wouldn't you?

Graphic Design's main goal is to communicate information, ideas, 

or messages using a combination of images, typography, colours, and other visual elements.


Accessible design adds better design practice and functionality so that more people can access it and use it more easily.

Are you breaking the law?

No, not in Australia, but hopefully it will only be a matter of time before they catch up with other more inclusive countries.


However, you may at risk of litigation if you're providing unsecured data forms to clients.
