The University’s supported Site Builder (Drupal) platform offers real-time checking and guidance to editors to help them identify and correct common content accessibility barriers before pages are published, such as: Alternative text for images Captions and transcripts Proper formatting Descriptive links PDFs This tool works well for catching straightforward issues, but for a more robust automated test, staff members are encouraged to use DubBot. Getting Started with DubBot DubBot is Princeton's automated website testing tool that checks the University's public-facing websites for accessibility, usability, and web governance issues. This tool helps website managers, developers, and content editors catch blockers that could prevent people with disabilities from accessing website content.We offer tailored, hands-on training upon request.
