Website Accessibility Training Should Be Part of Your Content Strategy

Accessibility isn’t just a technical checklist for developers, it’s an everyday content practice. Even the most accessible website can lose compliance and usability over time if editors, marketers, and content creators aren’t equipped to maintain accessibility standards.

Training your content team in accessibility ensures that your website stays inclusive, compliant, and easy to use for all visitors, long after launch.

When a new website goes live, it often meets accessibility guidelines like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). But accessibility isn’t a one-time project, it’s an ongoing commitment.

As new content is added — blog posts, images, PDFs, videos, and links — accessibility issues can quickly creep back in. Missing alt text, improper heading structure, and inaccessible documents are common mistakes that can undo months of careful development work.

That’s why accessibility training for website editors is so valuable: it empowers your team to publish confidently while keeping your website compliant and welcoming.

For many organizations, accessibility training bridges a crucial gap between intention and implementation. Without clear guidance, even experienced editors can inadvertently create barriers for users with disabilities.

Accessibility training helps teams:

• Recognize how their daily content decisions affect accessibility
• Understand and meet WCAG and ADA requirements
• Build habits that improve usability for everyone
• Reduce the cost and time spent on later remediation

Accessibility isn’t only about compliance. It’s about creating a positive experience for all users. When your content team understands accessibility, they naturally create content that’s clearer, more organized, and more inclusive.

Accessibility also carries legal obligations. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508, many organizations are required to make their digital content accessible to people with disabilities.

Training your team helps ensure compliance, reduce risk, and demonstrate a proactive commitment to accessibility — something courts and the public both view positively.

At Alpen Lily Web Studio, we help organizations maintain accessibility through practical, hands-on training for content editors and communications teams.

Our Website Accessibility Training covers:

• Writing accessible text and link descriptions
• Adding alt text and managing images properly
• Structuring content with headings for clarity and navigation
• Ensuring PDFs and videos are accessible
• Using CMS tools and plugins to support accessibility
• Testing and checking content for accessibility issues

Each workshop includes real examples, clear explanations, and take-home checklists, designed to make accessibility simple and sustainable.

You don’t need to be a developer. We focus on real-world content practices that anyone can learn.

Accessibility isn’t a separate task; it’s a part of how you create and publish content. By training your editors and writers, you’re embedding accessibility into your organization’s everyday workflow.

That means fewer errors, less remediation work, and a better experience for everyone who visits your website.

If your organization publishes content regularly, now is the time to invest in accessibility training. It’s one of the simplest, most effective steps you can take toward an inclusive and compliant digital presence.
