Why HTML for Accessible Documents

HTML-first publishing usually improves discoverability, usability, and long-term accessibility quality.

Better Assistive Technology Compatibility

Semantic HTML naturally exposes landmarks, headings, lists, and links for screen reader users.

Faster Ongoing Updates

Teams can update content in CMS workflows without re-exporting and retagging a full PDF package.

Stronger QA Automation

HTML pages fit standard CI pipelines for accessibility checks, regression tests, and release gates.
