Features

This service provides support to help LSA websites meet the University of Michigan’s Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) accessibility standards and WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.

Web accessibility ensures that websites can be used by everyone, including people with disabilities. Following WCAG 2.1 AA standards not only keeps LSA websites compliant with U-M’s EIT accessibility policy, but also makes content clearer, more intuitive, and easier to navigate. Accessible design improves overall user experience, supports inclusive communication, and can even strengthen search engine visibility.
