Case Study: Christ Church transforms accessibility and website monitoring with Silktide

Bringing the Conventional and the Modern Together

Christ Church, Oxford University, needed a better way to manage website accessibility, content quality, and ongoing monitoring across a large Drupal site supported by many contributors. Website Manager Mark Hook was responsible for maintenance, training, and documentation, and relied on manual checks and free tools before choosing Silktide to help address accessibility challenges and prepare for new legislation.

With Silktide, Christ Church adopted a clear, easy-to-understand platform for accessibility monitoring, issue prioritization, mobile testing, broken link and spelling checks, and regular reporting. Silktide helped the team identify and rank WCAG issues, support developers with clear reports, and reduce manual workload through constant monitoring; Mark said it transformed his understanding of accessibility and was “absolutely” worth the investment, leading him to renew for another year.
