Choosing the Right Partner for Accessibility Compliance in Publishing

The Right Partner Asks the Right Questions

The ideal accessibility partner doesn’t just nod along and hand you a checklist. They dig deeper. They ask questions that challenge assumptions, uncover hidden gaps, and ensure that your accessibility strategy isn’t just compliant but truly effective.

• Who is your audience, and what specific accessibility needs do they have?
• How does your current workflow accommodate accessibility, and where do they fall short?
• Are you thinking about accessibility from the ground up, or are you constantly retrofitting?
• What’s your long-term strategy to keep up with evolving compliance standards?

Questions like these set the foundation for a solution tailored to your unique challenges, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Because accessibility isn’t about ticking boxes—it’s about creating truly inclusive content.

We saw this firsthand when we partnered with an Ivy League university to audit and remediate accessibility compliance for a gender-specific program. Instead of jumping straight to solutions, our team began by asking the right questions—understanding their audience, identifying compliance gaps, and strategizing long-term accessibility integration. This approach ensured not just WCAG 2.1 compliance but a seamless learning experience for all students.

The Right Partner Has the Right Mix of Experts

The right accessibility compliance partner brings together experts across domains such as legal, technical, instructional design, and assistive technology to ensure accessibility is built into your content from day one, and not treated as an afterthought.

Legal & Compliance Experts

They decode WCAG, ADA, and Section 508 regulations into clear, actionable steps.

UX & Design Specialists

They ensure content is visually and functionally accessible without compromising engagement.

Assistive Technology Experts

They test with real users using screen readers, magnifiers, and other assistive tech to catch what automated tools miss.

Developers & AI Engineers

They automate compliance workflows, improving efficiency without losing human oversight.

When all these specialists operate under one roof, coordination is seamless, gaps are minimized, and solutions are tailored to your specific publishing needs. That’s the difference between patchwork compliance and a well-executed accessibility strategy.

Our legal experts work alongside UX specialists, developers, and AI engineers to deliver a fully compliant, user-friendly digital experience. From strategic consulting to hands-on remediation, we simplify accessibility by keeping everything in one place, saving you time, effort, and uncertainty.

The Right Partner Knows Time Is of the Essence

When it comes to academic publishing, delays can be costly. This is not just in terms of dollars but in audience reach, reputation, and impact. Every moment your content remains inaccessible is a missed opportunity to connect with a broader audience. That’s why partnering with a team that understands the urgency and intricacies of accessibility-driven publishing is crucial.

For instance, during our collaboration with a leading K-12 learning content provider faced the challenge of auditing and remediating a vast range of digital assets. They needed a partner who could act fast without compromising quality.

We responded by deploying a dedicated team that worked around the clock, customizing audit checklists, strategically sampling content to streamline remediation, engaging native users for real-world testing, and ensuring full-scale remediation with transparent reporting. This meticulous yet time-sensitive approach also came into play when we delivered over 50 custom complex simulations from scratch within just seven months for another client.

The Right Partner Has the Right Tools

While human expertise remains irreplaceable, AI-powered tools can automate repetitive tasks, improve efficiency, and drastically reduce errors. The right accessibility partner knows how to strike the perfect balance between automation and human intervention to ensure compliance is both scalable and sustainable.

At Magic EdTech, we’ve mastered this balance with MagicA11y, our AI-driven accessibility tool that delivers up to 40% out-of-the-box automation, which is the best in the industry today.
