Learn to fish. Save money. Time. Hassle.

Our services help you maximize your technology, streamline your workflow, and seamlessly build accessibility into your digital publications. Our mission is to train and coach you so well that you no longer need us or remediation services.

By teaching you how to fish — and make accessible PDFs right out of the box — we hope to work ourselves out of our jobs!

PubCom has a full array of courses on accessibility topics, as well as traditional desktop publishing, digital media, and website development. We started offering accessibility training to the federal government in 2001 right after Section 508 and WCAG 1.0 went into effect in the US. That was 20+ years ago and we haven't stopped yet!

We’re committed to making documents accessible for government, academia, and industry. Nearly 35% of our fellow citizens have disabilities or impairments that make it difficult to use technologies, and they depend on our work.

Sign up for our upcoming classes or we can bring a custom curriculum to your organization that can train your writers, editors, desktop publishers, media designers, accessibility techs, and webmasters. Plus, we provide back-office accessibility services.

The takeaway: we know publishing, from editorial to design to distribution (print and digital) — and we're accessibility experts (Bevi Chagnon is a delegate to the ISO committees for PDF accessibility). We share our knowledge and help you learn to fish. Our little fisherman keeps us on our goal to retirement … someday! Well, maybe. One can dream.

Sketch: Our fisherman has learned to fish and is now inclusive and accessible. We teach how to make your documents accessible.

We teach how to fish!
