Our Accessibility Journey with Our Stakeholders
Accessibility Initiative Across Ufuk University’s Digital Channels
Ufuk University(opens in a new window) launched a study to assess its corporate website’s compliance with the circular criteria. WeAccess.Ai solutions were used throughout the study. After the analysis, solutions for hearing, vision and different reading needs were added to the website.
About the Project
- Industry: Education
- Scope: Multi-page corporate website
- Goal: Support compliance with the circular criteria and make content easier to access
Starting Point
The starting point of the study was Circular No. 2025/10. The university wanted to see to what extent its website met the circular criteria. To do so, the current state of the website was analyzed first.
Regulatory and Standards Compliance
The work was carried out under Presidential Circular No. 2025/10 on the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications. The assessment was based on the criteria defined in the circular and on the WCAG 2.2 standards.
Sign Language and Accessibility Widget
The Sign Language for Websites plugin was added to the website. It lets deaf and hard of hearing users follow content in sign language. The Accessibility Widget offers display and reading settings for blind and low-vision, physically disabled and neurodivergent users.
Alt Text Generator
AI-powered alternative text was added to the images on the website. Thanks to this text, blind and low-vision users who rely on screen readers can learn what the images show.
Stakeholder Experiences
“We wanted to assess the state of our website under the circular. After the analysis, we added sign language, an accessibility widget and image description support to our website. Our blind, low-vision, deaf and hard of hearing students can now access information about our university more easily.”
