What is Acquia Web Governance and how does it work?

Web Governance was founded in 2014 under the name Monsido. Acquia provides a one-stop web governance solution that helps you elevate your website to provide a superior browsing experience. Web Governance provides accurate and insightful information to help you identify accessibility and quality assurance issues. This lets you optimize your online presence and ensure compliance with legal requirements.

Web Governance provides a range of services including:

• SEO: Websites with error-free and readable content are more easily recognized by search bots as credible, quality websites that offer relevant information. This improves search rankings. A positive user experience also benefits SEO by reducing bounce rates and increasing conversions.
• Web Accessibility: We use tools and technologies that are specifically developed to aid the perception, understanding, contribution, navigation, and interaction of a person with a disability on the site. The four principles of web accessibility as defined by W3C outlines that web content needs to be: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
• Content Quality: The scan includes quality checks for content errors such as broken links, broken images, spelling errors, and readability levels. Fix errors directly on the page without the need to log on to the platform.
• Site Analytics: View statistics on visitor behavior and see how guests navigate the site. The platform identifies search engine redirects, visitor location, languages used, devices, browsers used, operating systems used, cookie consents, and more.
• Global and Domain Policies: Policies are sets of rules that are designed to optimize online presence. Policies can help identify potential issues like guideline violations or outdated content. Choose relevant policies from the Web Governance pre-set library, or create your own unique policies that reflect the particular needs of your organization. Use the Policies module to manage brand guides, style guides, regulatory guides, and more per domain or globally across all domains.
• Heatmaps: Show traffic tendencies. The Heatmaps tool uses a warm-to-cold color scheme to show precise web page performance. It visually displays how visitors interact and navigate within the website, helps to identify problem areas, and suggests targeted improvements to ensure a better visitor experience.
• Cookie Consent Banner: The Cookie Consent Banner enables your website to be compliant with local cookie and consent regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
