Website Publication

Request review and publication of new websites. WordPress sites require an accessibility and usability review before being published. Please allow at least a week for this process. Modern Campus Sites do not require review. 

Here are some of the things we consider when reviewing websites.

  • Navigation and content makes sense
  • Site works well and looks good on mobile devices
  • All content is complete–no filler text
  • All links work
  • University of Arkansas affiliation clearly and appropriately identified
  • Clear contact information and links to appropriate college and department in footer
  • All menu items, links, and content areas are accessible through keyboard, without using the mouse
  • Appropriate use of headings and bulleted lists.
  • Appropriate link text (no “click here”).
  • Appropriate color contrast. For helpful information regarding approved colors and text/color combinations refer to the university’s color guide.
  • All images have alt text (here is a guide to effective alt text).
  • Use of high-quality images (here is a guide to choosing images).
  • Video/audio content has accurate captions or transcripts (here are instructions for adding captions to YouTube)
  • All tables have captions.
  • All tables have appropriate HTML structure.
  • All documents (PDFs, Word documents, etc.) are accessible.
  • All forms are accessible.

For more information on accessibility, refer to webfirst.uark.edu.
