Use this checklist before saving a page as "Needs Review" or "Published" (whether it's a new page, or you are making an update).

Webpage Content Overview

Audience is clear (Who is the page for?)
Purpose and Goals of webpage are clear
Content is not duplicated from another webpage (link to original source if needed)
Language is easy to understand (consider 8th grade reading level, in most cases)
Content is in chunks (with headings) for quick scanning/reading.
All words are spelled correctly

Webpage Construction

Title of page is unique and relevant to page content (example: About UCM)
Permalink (URL) relates to Title of page
Page is correctly nested (using Page Location)
Metadescription contains a relevant summary
Images are sized correctly, named following the lowercase-nospace convention, and have descriptive alternative text.
Military Images: Any image showing a person in uniform must have the disclaimer: Disclaimer: It is not the intent of Ohio University to imply an endorsement by any service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Headings and buttons use Title case (no ALL CAPS)
Content headings start with H2 and continue in descending order
Tables are used for data only, not layout. Tables have a Header Row (and Header Column if needed)
Lists are created with bullets or numbers using the built-in list style.

Color contrast meets accessibility standards
Videos have closed captions and/or audio descriptions
Documents linked from webpage have been remediated (or exempted by UCM Web Team)
