8 years experience in making exhibits & catalogs of museums & art galleries more accessible for print-disabled visitors & patrons
Making museums & art galleries more accessible
Museums are increasingly going digital to stay at pace with the demands of their visitors. Print-disabled museum and art gallery visitors & patrons expect their engagement experience with institutions exhibits to be seamless and at par with regular visitors.
In a post-COVID world, museums & art galleries, on one side, are striving towards universal access to improve visitors’ experience and more relevantly exploring options to increase information consumption digitally & remotely. codemantra’s accessibilityInsight™ platform can remediate the various existing digital assets, thereby making them more accessible for print-disabled visitors who otherwise had no other option to consume this content. The solution additionally provides:
- Audit and assessment of catalogues & exhibits
- Assessment report generation
- Impose structural tags to ensure intelligent content reflow
- Create and edit alt text for visuals and graphical elements
- Recompile and validate content against PDF/UA and WCAG 2.1 standards
Making exhibits, catalogues & digital assets accessible

- Accessible digital content empowers people with disabilities by providing them equal opportunity to consume information and contribute to society
- Accessible content also ranks higher on search engines and can be consumed by people with disabilities as well as their able-bodied counterparts
- Immunity against digital accessibility lawsuits that come with heavy penalties and cause irreparable harm to brand reputation
