Industry intelligence
What we see in education websites
These are the patterns our Diagnostic Framework consistently surfaces in education sites — and the signals your visitors and regulators expect.
Common gaps for Education
- FERPA compliance gaps in online forms that collect student information without proper consent workflows or encryption
- ADA Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA failures that expose the institution to OCR complaints and DOJ enforcement actions
- Enrollment and admissions information buried three or more clicks deep, causing prospective families to abandon the process
- Event calendars that are static images or PDFs instead of dynamic, filterable feeds integrated with the school calendar system
- No multilingual support despite serving diverse communities where parents may not read English fluently
What good looks like
An effective education website puts enrollment and admissions on the homepage with a clear step-by-step process, meets WCAG 2.1 AA across every page including PDFs and embedded content, and offers multilingual navigation for the communities it serves. The event calendar syncs with the school information system, and all student data collection forms are encrypted and FERPA-compliant.
Compliance & trust signals for Education
- FERPA compliance for all student information collection and display on the website
- ADA Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA conformance with third-party review documentation
- COPPA compliance if the site is accessible to or targets children under 13
- Multi-language accessibility for Title VI compliance in diverse communities
