Review Your Web Content
Review all web content you manage using UWM’s accessible web content guidelines. Ensure key elements like heading structure, alternative text for images, link descriptions and color contrast meet the accessibility standards outlined in the checklist.
Choose the Right Format for Your Web Content
When publishing content on the UWM.edu website, it’s important to pick the format that works best for your audience. Access guidance on choosing between web page, PDF and original file format for your web content.
Test with Accessibility Tools
Use accessibility testing tools, such as those listed on UWM’s accessibility testing tools page, to identify potential issues. Adding Chrome extensions (e.g., WAVE) can help you quickly identify accessibility problems directly in your browser.
Leverage Web ID 2 Accessibility Features
UWM’s Web ID 2 WordPress theme has digital accessibility built into its functionality, content templates and blocks, streamlining the process of meeting accessibility requirements. For those managing sites on Web ID 1, it’s crucial to discuss migrating to Web ID 2 with your unit’s web support team to take advantage of these accessibility features.
