Transforming PDFs to Accessible eBooks with a Custom Web Platform
Lullabot recently revamped its eBook collection by transforming static PDFs into an accessible, responsive web format, prioritizing inclusivity for users with disabilities. Led by Jerad Bitner, the team addressed PDFs' limitations—specifically, their inaccessibility for screen readers and challenging navigation—and developed a custom eBook platform using Eleventy, a static site generator.
Through Markdown for content structure, Sass for responsive design, and improved navigation and alt-text-supported images, the platform achieves a user-friendly experience across devices. The conversion process allows editors to quickly update content via GitHub without developer support, streamlining production while maintaining visual appeal. This initiative underscores Lullabot’s commitment to accessible digital content and offers a modern alternative for delivering eBooks online.
