Venngage

Venngage is an accessibility-first document design platform that helps teams create accessible PDFs, reports, and visual content directly within their workflows. Organizations across higher education, government, and corporate sectors use Venngage to move beyond remediation and build accessibility into content creation from the start. Traditional design tools often require accessibility to be addressed after a document is created. Venngage takes a different approach by embedding accessibility into the design process itself - helping teams reduce rework, improve consistency, and scale accessible content production. The platform supports key accessibility needs such as color contrast validation, alt text for visuals, structured layouts, and proper reading order, enabling teams to create documents that align with standards like WCAG, Section 508, and PDF/UA. Venngage is used by teams creating high volumes of content, including course materials, government communications, reports, and marketing assets - where accessibility is both a compliance requirement and a usability priority. In addition to the product, Venngage actively contributes to the accessibility community through: - Thought leadership sessions and roundtables - Training programs on accessible document workflows - Collaboration with organizations and public sector teams Venngage’s mission is to make accessibility part of everyday content creation - not an afterthought.
