Welcome to Siteimprove – Content authors

About Siteimprove 

The University of Waterloo has partnered with Siteimprove to provide ongoing assistance for digital initiatives across University websites. The Siteimprove accessibility checker is a tool to review your site content for accessibility issues. It will provide an immediate overview of your content, highlight detected issues, and provide actionable solutions, all to help in maintaining accessibility compliance. 

Making a website accessible is an ongoing process for the duration of its lifespan.
