THIS ACCESSIBLE NEWSLETTER<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is newsletter accessibility important?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Newsletter accessibility is important because it drives better marketing results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a newsletter is accessible, it reaches a wider audience and increases the likelihood of engagement with calls to action, leading to higher click-through rates and conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides reach, many countries have accessibility laws and regulations that require businesses to make their digital content, including newsletters, accessible to people with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the international standard set by WCAG, there are also the <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/ada-standards-for-accessible-design\/\">ADA standards<\/a> in the US and the EAA guidelines in the EU.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, sending accessible newsletters shows that your company values its audience and cares about their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create\">5 steps to make accessible newsletters&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The same principles that apply to creating <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/accessible-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accessible documents<\/a> work for accessible newsletters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are some specific points to keep in mind to ensure newsletters are inclusive and meet accessibility guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Structure your newsletter properly&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating an accessible newsletter starts with organizing content in a clear and logical structure.&nbsp;Additionally, employing a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/easydmarc.com\/tools\/dmarc-aggregated-reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DMARC report analyzer<\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>can help ensure that your well-structured newsletters are delivered securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure you already know about separating content into different sections and sub-sections using headings like H1s, H2s, and H3s so that it\u2019s easy for readers to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most email marketing tools like Mailchimp and ConvertKit let you do this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what they don\u2019t offer is the ability to <strong>label<\/strong> headings with <a href=\"https:\/\/help.venngage.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/16357204437005-Tagging-text-for-accessibility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text tags<\/a> so that assistive technology like screen readers can understand the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this without an <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/accessible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Accessible Design Tool<\/a>, you will need need to create your newsletter in an HTML editor or code it using custom HTML templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with Venngage\u2019s drag-and-drop editor, you can tag content and headings with accessible heading tags.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venngage automatically generates the appropriate HTML code for heading tags ensuring your newsletter content is accessible to all readers, including those using screen readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a well-structured newsletter with proper heading tags:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

ACCESSIBLE NEWSLETTER<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>Besides heading tags,  your newsletter should include paragraphs, bullet points, and lists to make information easier to digest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also pay attention to the reading order of your newsletters or the sequence in which the creator intended the content to be consumed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting the right reading order is critical to ensure newsletter content is read in a logical and meaningful way by people using assistive

with visual impairments or cognitive disabilities depend on tags embedded in your newsletters that indicate the correct reading order<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the reading order in the example below might be obvious to users without visual impairments, but a screen reader needs to be told or programmed to present information in the right order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

class=\"btn-cta\"><b>CREATE THIS ACCESSIBLE NEWSLETTER<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to edit the order, just drag an item with your mouse or use your keyboard and arrow keys to reposition text to match your desired reading order.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venngage&#8217;s editor will automatically mark non-text elements like icons and graphics as decorative, but you can still include these elements into your Reading Order by setting their alt text.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t rely on images to convey meaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most newsletters are visual in nature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because images catch a reader&#8217;s eye and make newsletters more appealing, increasing the chance of engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But relying on visuals alone to convey important information also increases the odds of you excluding users with visual impairments and other disabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides color blindness or low vision impairments, some users also disable image loading altogether.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One method to test newsletter accessibility is to review your content as a plain-text document to see if it still makes sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: This doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t include images at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can, but if you do, make sure to mark them with appropriate <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/image-alt-text\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">alternative text<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re wondering how do you write good alt text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretend you are describing it to someone who can&#8217;t see. Ask yourself, what do they need to know about the visual to understand it without seeing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, alt text for non-text content should be:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Functional<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informative<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contextual<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focused<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Want to learn more about writing helpful alt text for your newsletter images?

Although Canva offers some accessibility features such as the ability to add alt text to non-text elements, the tool is not WCAG-compliant nor does it have any built-in accessibility checker to test your newsletter design. Moreover, Canva does not allow you to export accessible newsletters as PDFs. You\u2019ll have to manually remediate it. An alternative to creating newsletters in Canva is Venngage which lets you build, test, and export accessible newsletter designs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-question-2\">How do I make my newsletter accessible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your newsletter accessible, here are the steps you need to follow: 1) use simple language, 2) provide descriptive alt text for non-text elements, 3) use accessible fonts, 4) ensure enough color contrast, 5) add meaningful headings and heading tags, 6) add descriptive text for hyperlinks, and 7) test your newsletter for accessibility before hitting send.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>In summary: Creating accessible newsletters is not just a matter of compliance but about fostering inclusivity and making sure your message reaches as many people as possible&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By following the tips shared in this post, your newsletters and email marketing campaigns will not only become user-friendly, but inclusive&nbsp;and in line with accessibility laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embracing accessible newsletters not only benefits readers but also strengthens your brand&#8217;s reputation and marketing impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, start creating accessible newsletters with Venngage&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/accessible\">Accessible Design Tool <\/a>today to unlock the full potential of your email marketing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy designing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/features\/accessible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n<button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>START CREATING FOR FREE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newsletters are powerful communication tools and a core part of email marketing.
