Freelance Accessibility & Compliance Specialists

Accessibility and compliance specialists make documents and digital content usable by everyone and compliant with the law. They remediate PDFs, Word, PowerPoint, and web content to standards such as WCAG, Section 508, PDF/UA, and the European Accessibility Act, adding semantic structure, tags, alt text, and a correct reading order.

When to hire one

  • You have PDFs or documents that must meet WCAG, Section 508, PDF/UA, ADA, or EAA requirements.
  • A client or regulator requires accessible, tagged, screen-reader-friendly deliverables.
  • You need a VPAT or an accessibility audit of a document set or website.
  • You are localizing content into multiple languages and each version must stay accessible.
