Siteimprove Tool

All School of Pharmacy web editors can be granted access to a tool called Siteimprove that enables you to easily identify and resolve common problems with your website, such as broken links and misspelled words.

Not affiliated with the School of Pharmacy? See Siteimprove.

In Siteimprove you can see issues for only the content that you own. You can use it as much as you want to improve your website. Ideally you’d check Siteimprove on a regular basis at a schedule that you see fit. Below are some example screenshots. Siteimprove is funded at the UC level and administered at the campus level; you are not responsible for its cost or administration.

Eligibility

Any School of Pharmacy web editor is eligible to use Siteimprove. To express interest, contact us at Website and Communications Support.

Training

Senior Front-end Developer Frank Farm will walk you through an initial training session. Afterwards, you’re welcome to begin using Siteimprove with or without additional training:

• Video, 40 minutes, On-Demand Webinar: Platform Overview.

• Siteimprove Training at UCSF. (On this page, ignore the Site Builder training video. Nearly all School of Pharmacy websites do not use Site Builder.)

• Siteimprove Frontier: self-paced, online, web accessibility training. Before accessing the links below, log in to Siteimprove, then select “Help Center and training” in the top right corner, then select “Training & certifications” to log in to Frontier. The links below will not work unless you log in this way.

  • For web editors: Accessibility for Content Contributors.

  • For social media managers: Frontier training: Social Media.
