Case Study: University of Sunderland achieves optimised digital governance and a rise to #5 in the Sitemorse INDEX with Sitemorse

University of Sunderland - Customer Case Study

The University of Sunderland, with nearly 20,000 students across multiple campuses and around 2 million website visitors per year, faced the challenge of monitoring, managing and maintaining a vast, content‑led site with many contributors and limited resources. To ensure consistent quality, accessibility and effective digital governance for recruitment and stakeholder engagement, the university selected Sitemorse as its Digital Governance solution.

Sitemorse implemented automated site scanning, reporting (including the Sitemorse INDEX) and Prioritisation Intelligence™ to prioritise actionable fixes and embed governance into content processes. By following Sitemorse’s recommendations the University of Sunderland rose from a 300+ Sitemorse ranking to as high as number 5, resolved broken links, improved accessibility and content quality, and freed staff time for content creation — delivering measurable improvements in site governance and optimisation.
