Accessibility from the start
Accessibility is considered when the report is planned and designed, rather than treated as a final-stage technical exercise.
Accessible Report Design for Ireland
Professional report design for organisations that need their publications to be accessible, clear and easy to navigate. Tell us your accessibility requirements at the start of the project and we'll build the design and production approach around them.
Accessible reports for organisations that serve everyone
From government departments and public bodies to charities, universities, healthcare organisations and professional institutions.
Why organisations choose Pixelo for accessible reports
Specialist report designers
We specialise in complex reports, combining editorial design, information hierarchy and clear visual communication.
Requirements-led approach
Tell us what accessibility requirements your organisation needs to meet at briefing stage, and we'll design the project around them.
Clear, readable layouts
Strong hierarchy, considered typography, logical page structures and thoughtful information design make reports easier to navigate.
Print & digital delivery
Design can be developed for printed publications alongside digital and accessible PDF versions where required.
One designer throughout
You work directly with the designer responsible for your report, keeping communication straightforward from initial concept to final files.
Accessibility starts with good information design
Accessibility is more than a technical requirement
An accessible report should be straightforward to read, navigate and understand. Good design can help remove unnecessary barriers while still giving your publication the professional appearance your organisation expects.
Whether your readers are employees, service users, members, funders, regulators, investors or the wider public, thoughtful accessibility helps more people engage with the information you're publishing.
We understand what's involved
Complex Project. Simple Process.
Accessible reports require more than good-looking pages. Content, structure, design and accessibility requirements all need to work together. We establish those requirements early, then manage the design and revisions through to final delivery.
Accessibility requirements
We establish what your organisation needs from the document before design begins.
Multiple contributors
Copy, data and approvals often come from different teams and need to come together consistently.
Document structure
Page hierarchy and content structure are considered from the beginning rather than added at the end.
Readability
Typography, spacing, contrast and information hierarchy all contribute to a more usable publication.
Content changes
Reports evolve during production, so we manage revisions carefully without losing consistency.
Digital requirements
We consider how the finished report will be used and distributed digitally.
Final production
The agreed accessibility requirements remain part of the production process through to final delivery.
One point of contact
You brief once and communicate directly with the designer managing your report.

Accessibility
Tell us what accessibility you need
If your organisation requires an accessible report, tell us exactly what you need at the beginning of the project. We can then plan the document structure, design and production workflow around those requirements.
Different organisations have different requirements, so we don't assume one standard fits every project. Providing your specification at briefing stage allows us to understand what needs to be considered before design begins.

Accessible report design considers how people with different needs will read, navigate and interact with a publication. This can include document structure, typography, colour, navigation and the way the final digital document is produced.
Yes. Where an accessible PDF is required, we can incorporate the relevant requirements into the design and production process. Tell us what your organisation requires at the beginning of the project so we can plan accordingly.
Yes. If your organisation has a specific accessibility specification, standard or internal requirement, provide it when requesting a quotation. We can then assess the requirements and incorporate them into the agreed project scope.
We don't make a blanket compliance guarantee because accessibility requirements vary between organisations and projects. If you have a specific standard or compliance requirement, provide it at briefing stage so the appropriate design and production approach can be discussed and agreed.
As early as possible — ideally when you first request a quotation. Knowing the requirements at the beginning means they can be considered when planning the document structure, design, production and final digital files rather than addressed as an afterthought.
Yes. We can review an existing report and consider how its structure, typography, layouts, tables, charts and digital production could be improved. Send us the current document and your accessibility requirements and we can advise on the appropriate approach.
No. Accessibility and strong visual design can work together. Clear hierarchy, thoughtful typography, well-designed information graphics and considered layouts can make a report both professional and easier to use.
Yes. We work with organisations that publish complex reports for public and professional audiences, including government, charities, universities, healthcare and other institutions. Accessibility requirements can be incorporated into the project from the outset.
Yes. A report can be designed as a cohesive publication for print and digital use, with the digital version produced according to the accessibility requirements agreed for the project.
The cost depends on the length and complexity of the report, the amount of data visualisation required, the accessibility requirements, the number of review stages and the final formats required. We'll provide a project-specific quotation based on your requirements.
Ideally, your draft content, brand guidelines, existing report or template, approximate page count, target publication date and accessibility specification. If your content isn't final, we can discuss the best way to begin while material is still being developed.
We can discuss your requirements and explain how they affect the design and production process. If your organisation already has an accessibility specification, supplying it at the start is the best way to ensure the project is scoped appropriately.
