    Why Do I Need an Accessibility Overhaul on My Online Documents?

    The Canadian Government Has Passed Legislation Mandating Online Document Accessibility

    There are over 285 million people around the world with some form of visual challenge and that number is projected to double by 2030. That is why the Canadian government has made online document accessibility the law. Nimble can help you comply with the law by converting your documents into accessible PDFs that allow people with visual impairment to access and use your organization’s information.

    Three Reasons to Be Accessible

    It’s the Law

    And fines can be up to $100,000 for each day of violation. The law applies to all private and non-profit organizations with more than 50 employees.

    It’s the Right Thing to Do

    Making your information accessible is responsible and it conveys that your organization cares about the welfare of others.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We would be happy to talk to you about accessibility but here are some of the questions we hear most often

    Is my organization responsible for being accessibility compliant under the act?

    Yes, your organization is responsible for ensuring your digital content complies with accessibility standards like WCAG 2.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and PDF/UA (PDF Universal Accessibility), especially if you serve a public audience or receive government funding. These standards ensure content is accessible to people with disabilities, and increase the readability of web pages, PDFs and more. Not sure where to start? Digitization with Nimble makes the process easy. We can think of the hard stuff so you don’t have to. Just sit back and let us make your PDFs accessible.

    What does PDF/UA & WCAG 2.0 mean?

    PDF/UA (PDF Universal Accessibility) is a standard designed to ensure PDF documents are accessible to people with disabilities and readable using screen readers or other assistive devices. WCAG 2.0 is a broader set of guidelines for making web content, including PDFs, accessible to users with disabilities. Making your PDFs readable through digitization is easy with Nimble. We apply Optical Character Recognition while we digitize your documents, ensuring your PDFs meet accessibility requirements.

    What if my content has strict security & privacy policies, can I still use Nimble's service?

    Yes. Many of our clients adhere to strict security and privacy policies. We specialize in developing tailored solutions that not only address your unique needs but also fully comply with your guidelines and regulatory requirements. From tracking information in transit to restricted access we are happy to accommodate your needs while helping you stay Nimble.

    How far back do I have to go in converting my documents to be compliant?

    The extent to which you need to make past documents compliant depends on the specific regulations governing your industry and region. Typically, newly created digital content must comply with accessibility standards, but some jurisdictions may also require retrofitting older documents, especially if they are still actively used. We offer a range of services, from digitizing your document backlog to managing newly created files. Unsure where to begin?
