+One of the tools that you can use to evaluate the accessibility of your website is [[https://www.oit.uci.edu/services/communication-collaboration/siteimprove/|SiteImprove]]. This tool can give you a report of any issues found and tips for how to fix those issues.
+=== To begin using SiteImprove ===

+    - If this is your first time, you will be prompted to select your location from the menu. Select "University of California, Irvine"
+    - You will then be prompted to log in with your UCInetID and DUO as usual
+    - You will not have any websites associated with your SiteImprove account at first. This first login is necessary to create your account.
+  - Send an email to OIT [[oit@uci.edu]] with the following details (<URL> is meant to be a placeholder for your website's address):
+    * To: oit@uci.edu
+    * Subject: Add my website to my SiteImprove account
+    * Body: Please add my website <URL> to my SiteImprove account.
+  - After your site is added to your SiteImprove account, it will take between 1 and 3 days for them to scan and analyze your site.
