Your web estate, understood — then made simpler.
UK Web Focus helps universities and colleges get control of sprawling websites: what you have, who owns it, what’s inaccessible or out of date, and what to fix first. Independent advice, practical roadmaps, no platform to sell you.
Six ways we help.
- 014–6 weeks
Web estate audit
A full inventory of domains, subsites, platforms and owners, with duplicated and orphaned content flagged. You get a spreadsheet you can actually maintain, and a summary for senior leadership.
- 02Ongoing or one-off
Accessibility compliance
WCAG 2.2 AA testing across templates and key journeys, an accessibility statement that matches reality, and a remediation plan your web team and suppliers can work from.
- 03Procurement-ready
CMS & platform selection
Requirements gathering with faculties and central teams, a vendor-neutral shortlist, scripted demos and a scoring framework procurement will accept.
- 04Policy + training
Content governance
Ownership models, publishing workflows, review cycles and style rules that survive staff turnover — designed with the people who will run them.
- 05GA4 · Matomo · Looker
Analytics & insight
Measurement plans tied to student recruitment and research impact goals, consent-compliant tagging, and dashboards that answer questions people actually ask.
- 06On-site or remote
Workshops & training
Half-day and full-day sessions for web editors, comms teams and senior stakeholders on accessibility, writing for the web and social media policy.
How healthy is your web estate?
Tick what’s true for your institution today. It takes two minutes and the result tells you where most institutions in your position start.
Start with an inventory: you can’t govern what you can’t see.
Built around how institutions actually publish.
Central teams, faculties, schools, libraries and research groups all publish differently. Our recommendations account for devolved publishing instead of pretending it away.
- Universities
- FE colleges
- Research institutes
- University libraries
- Museums & collections
- Students’ unions
- Professional bodies
Fewer sites, better maintained, beats more sites, occasionally updated.
Accessibility is a publishing practice, not a project with an end date.
We don’t resell platforms, so our shortlists don’t have a favourite.
Three ways to start.
Health check
A fixed-scope review of your estate and accessibility position, delivered as a report and a leadership briefing.
Ask about scope →Programme support
An adviser embedded with your digital team through a redesign, consolidation or CMS migration.
Discuss a programme →Training day
A tailored workshop for editors or senior stakeholders, with materials your team keeps.
Book a session →Start with a conversation about your estate.
Tell us roughly how many sites you run and what’s prompting the review — a redesign, an accessibility complaint, a new CMS, a restructure.
