| What is web governance and why does my website need it? |
|---|
|
Web governance is the set of policies, processes, and tools that organizations use to manage, maintain, and optimize their websites for quality, accessibility, SEO, and compliance. Without it, websites accumulate broken links, inaccessible content, outdated pages, and SEO errors that silently hurt traffic and user experience. Acquia Web Governance automates website scanning to proactively detect and prioritize issues before they impact visitors or search rankings.
|
| How does Acquia Web Governance help with WCAG accessibility compliance? |
|---|
|
Acquia Web Governance automatically scans your website against WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 standards, identifying accessibility violations like missing alt text, poor color contrast, inaccessible form fields, and non-compliant PDFs. The platform prioritizes issues by severity and assigns fixes to the right team members — web designers, developers, or content editors. This helps organizations comply with ADA, the European Accessibility Act (EAA), and other global accessibility regulations.
|
| What is the difference between web governance and a CMS? |
|---|
|
A content management system (CMS) is a tool for creating and publishing website content, while web governance is the layer that monitors and ensures the quality, accessibility, and compliance of that published content. Your CMS publishes pages; web governance checks them for errors, broken links, SEO gaps, accessibility issues, and policy violations after they go live. Acquia Web Governance integrates directly with your existing CMS — including Drupal — to surface issues where content lives.
|
| How often does Acquia Web Governance scan my website? |
|---|
|
Acquia Web Governance offers scheduled automated scanning with configurable frequency, so your site can be crawled daily, weekly, or at custom intervals based on how frequently your content changes. The platform also includes a Quick Scan feature for on-demand analysis of specific pages without waiting for a full crawl. Real-time browser extension monitoring lets team members review and fix issues as they browse your site live.
|
| Which regulations does Acquia Web Governance help organizations comply with? |
|---|
|
Acquia Web Governance helps organizations meet a wide range of accessibility and data privacy regulations including WCAG 2.1 AA, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, the European Accessibility Act (EAA), GDPR, and more. The platform keeps up with evolving legislation so your team doesn't have to manually track regulatory changes. Compliance reports can be generated for internal audits, stakeholder reviews, or legal documentation.
