Accessibility Testing
UIS Accessibility Reviews
All new websites must pass a UIS accessibility review before they can launch. You will be responsible for verifying that the website or application passes both automated and manual testing prior to requesting a UIS review.
Testing Tools
Siteimprove
Georgetown University website admins and editors can get access to Siteimprove upon registering for the Intro to Accessibility workshop. You can also add a site to SiteImprove .
Siteimprove Chrome browser extension
Install the Siteimprove extension for Chrome to check individual pages right inside your browser window. You will need to use this if your site is access restricted.
Editoria11y WordPress plugin
All sites that use the UIS-managed WordPress environment can use the Editoria11y plugin to point out common accessibility problems.
Manual testing checklist
Automated tools can’t catch everything! See the manual testing guide and manual testing checklist to check your pages for more accessibility issues.
