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.
