While SiteNow offers many ways of constructing content for your users, you may find that you need to embed fragments of content or functionality that are not available on the platform. Embeddable objects (or just embeds) are often times web apps, but could also include charts, graphs, and other visuals provided by a third party.

Please be aware that you are responsible for your embed being compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. While we are responsible for ensuring the accessibility compliance of SiteNow, we cannot control or be responsible for the accessibility of embedded external content.

Tools

To get you started testing your embed for accessibility compliance, we have compiled a list of tools you can use to scan your embed. None of these tools are perfect and will sometimes miss things, which is why we recommend using more than one.

See also the Accessibility tools page of the Accessibility at Iowa website for a larger list of accessibility scanning tools.

Contacting accessibility services

No accessibility tool is perfect, and it is never a replacement for user testing. With this in mind, please request a review of your embed from accessibility services, or by emailing ITAccessibility@uiowa.edu.
