A practical playbook for accessible communications

Digital accessibility, made doable.

Accessibility is most effective when it isn't a final check. It's built into the way your team writes, designs, creates and publishes from the start.

The JPW Digital Accessibility Playbook translates accessibility standards into practical, repeatable practices for the people creating public communications every day.

From websites and PDFs to presentations, social media, video and infographics, it gives your team a shared approach for creating communications that are both impactful and accessible.

Built by communicators, for communicators.

At JPW, accessibility touches nearly every discipline and deliverable we produce, so we created a shared resource to help our strategists, writers, designers and project managers apply best practices consistently across our work.

The playbook helps teams think through questions like:

  • How do we balance accessibility with strong, impactful design?

  • What does best practice look like across PDFs, presentations, digital content and social media?

  • How do we approach alt text strategically, rather than treating it as a checkbox?

  • What makes presentations and meetings more accessible from start to finish?

  • What should we consider for video beyond captions?

  • Most importantly, how do we build accessibility into the workflow from the beginning?

We brought the standards, best practices, tools and quality-control measures together in one practical resource.

It worked so well for our team, we decided to share it with yours.

One playbook. A more consistent approach.

Accessibility standards can get technical quickly. The Playbook translates them into practical guidance for the communications your team creates every day.

It covers:

  • Websites + digital content

  • PDFs + documents

  • Presentations

  • Social media + graphics

  • Video

  • Infographics + data visualization

  • Images + visual content

Across each, you'll find practical best practices, common pitfalls, workflows, quality-control checklists, recommended tools and resources designed to help your team apply accessibility consistently from concept through final delivery.

The result? Less interpreting; more doing.

Choose the right fit for your team.

  • A ready-to-use resource for making accessibility part of your team's everyday communications workflow.

    The complete JPW Digital Accessibility Playbook includes practical guidance, standards, workflows, tools and quality-control checklists your team can reference across projects and deliverable types.
