Accessibility
Make accessibility manageable across your sites
CampusPress helps your institution manage accessibility systematically, rather than responding to issues one site at a time.

But when hundreds of people manage websites, content, themes, and plugins, maintaining accessibility becomes a challenge.
Responsibility is centralized, even when publishing is not.
Departments create and manage content, but institutional leadership remains accountable for accessibility.
Every contributor makes choices that affect accessibility.
Themes, plugins, documents, media, embeds, layouts, and everyday content decisions can all introduce barriers.
Accessibility changes over time.
A site that meets expectations today may fall behind as new content, tools, and updates are introduced.
Manual oversight doesn’t scale.
Central web, accessibility, and IT teams can’t inspect every page and every change across hundreds or thousands of sites.
How CampusPress puts accessibility guardrails around every site
The key is creating guardrails strong enough to protect the institution, yet simple enough for people to follow.
CampusPress helps you put those guardrails in place without making publishing harder.
1. Start with safer technology
Give publishers approved themes and plugins to choose from, while central teams stay in control.
2. Keep the platform current
CampusPress maintains the platform and supported components, reducing the need to address technical issues site by site.
3. Help people publish with confidence
Give faculty, students, and staff practical guidance and a clear place to turn when barriers are found.
