Placeholders

Placeholders can be used when you are still waiting for content to be written or images to be chosen. They offer a realistic way to preview certain page elements without having to have content ready.

Google apps

The UW Theme and some 3rd party-built plugins work with various Google Apps to populate content. Specific examples in the UW Theme would be the Search and Analytics elements in the Customizer and, under our service, the Gravity Forms plugin (for CAPTCHA).

Google Custom Search

Google reCAPTCHA

Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 is a service and tool provided by Google that allows you to measure the use of your website in a quantitative manner. Its purpose is straightforward, however using it takes planning and strategy and helps you answer questions like what do you want this data for, and what are you going to do with it?

Accessibility

Here at WiscWeb, we want to make sure that everyone is able to easily navigate your websites but understand that not everyone knows what this means or how to make their sites more accessible.

There are a few campus resources for testing accessibility but we wanted to provide some outside resources as well:

WebAIM

Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool

Color Contrast Checker

Importance of Alt Text

Accessible Tables
