VCSU Website Accessibility (A11y) Tracker[beta]
Our website accessibility tracker is a handy tool integrated into a Power BI dashboard, using analytics from the well-known platforms Silktide, SortSite, and Siteimprove to show just how seriously we take web accessibility. Since 2014, VCSU has been closely monitoring and improving the accessibility of all our websites to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Our Commitment to Accessibility:
- Proactive Monitoring: We currently use Silktide to spot and fix accessibility issues, ensuring our website is usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. This proactive stance underscores our commitment to fostering an inclusive digital space.
- Long-Term Dedication: Since 2014, we've consistently tracked and reported accessibility metrics with Siteimprove and SortSite. This is solid proof of our ongoing efforts to prioritize and enhance web accessibility, ensuring our websites remain welcoming and user-friendly for everyone.
-
Insightful Data: By including archived Siteimprove data with current Silktide and SortSite data, we can visualize and track accessibility metrics over time. This helps us make smart decisions and keep improving our website accessibility.
