[Athen] Accessible Newsletter programs and templates

We are beginning to shift to Adobe Express from Canva. So far, find it easier to make accessible using Adobe Professional.

      External Email - Use Caution



Hi all,

A colleague used Canva to create a newsletter and their director is asking them to reformat it into an accessible format! (Win!) I know that Venngage<https://venngage.com/> offers a more accessible alternative to Canva and I plan to share that with their team, but hope to share other resources as well.

What programs or products do you use or have learned to a good job building accessible newsletters? This team would like to use something more robust than Word. Publisher has Newsletter templates - what do we think of something like that?

Thoughts on MailChimp or other such communications technologies?
