DigiShift 47 - Making content accessible for all

This month Sarah Winters, a content design pioneer, will be sharing insights from the Readability Guidelines project. The session is a must-see for anyone involved in creating or editing online content.

Founder of the content design movement, Sarah pioneered the standards during her 10-year career with the UK government. As head of content design for the Government Digital Service (GDS), Sarah created and implemented the content strategy for the GOV.UK website.

After leaving GDS, Sarah took her knowledge and wrote the respected and highly popular Content Design – a book for anyone creating user-centred content.

She also launched Content Design London to provide training and consultation in content strategy and content design for governments, charities and organisations in the UK and worldwide. Sarah is also a respected and in-demand speaker and shares her expertise to audiences at conferences, meet-ups and events globally.

The Readability Guidelines project is a global collaborative effort to show how simple content changes can help people access web content. Users with cognitive and physical challenges, those who are stressed or anxious and people who are time-pressured. Pretty much anyone.
