WCAG and ADA compliance across your entire web presence
Universities operate some of the most complex web environments in the public sector — flagship sites, department microsites, academic portals, athletics, admissions, alumni, and more. Govzu brings all of them under one compliance umbrella so your central web team can maintain standards at scale.
Common pain points for higher education
Decentralized web governance
Dozens of departments maintain their own sites with varying levels of technical sophistication, creating a compliance patchwork that's hard to audit.
OCR complaint exposure
The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights actively enforces web accessibility under Section 504 and 508. Institutions face costly settlement agreements.
Student experience expectations
Students with disabilities deserve equitable access to course materials, application forms, financial aid information, and campus resources online.
Purpose-built for higher education
Govzu is designed for public-sector web teams, not enterprise SaaS buyers. Every feature maps to the real compliance pressures your team faces.
Multi-site portfolio management
Monitor every domain and subdomain across your institution from one central dashboard. Assign site ownership to department admins.
WCAG 2.2 deep checks
Full WCAG 2.2 A and AA automated checks covering color contrast, alt text, keyboard navigation, ARIA, focus order, and more.
Remediation tracking
Log issues, assign them to responsible parties, and track resolution progress over time. Demonstrate continuous improvement to auditors.
