Built for higher education
Accessibility-first CMS for higher education
Everything you need for a campus website, nothing you do not.
Inclusive CMS lets your team sign in, update content, and publish secure static pages in minutes. No plugins or fragile templates, just a clear editor and a fast site that respects accessibility, with tools shaped for how universities actually work.
Higher education sites are not like corporate sites. They are bigger, more distributed, and serve more audiences with different needs. Inclusive CMS brings structure to that complexity while staying simple for every editor to use.
Higher education sites are big and complicated.
Editing them should not feel that way.
Higher education websites carry a level of complexity that most CMS platforms were never designed to handle. Big navigation, many editors, frequent updates, and real accessibility obligations demand clarity and stability, not plugin stacks and workarounds that slow teams down and make every change feel risky.
Common friction points
- Accessibility checks coming too late in the process
- Editors cannot see what they will actually get
- Legacy framework vulnerabilities that require constant maintenance
- Outdated content that is hard to spot at scale
- Slow updates because the system feels fragile and takes too long to load
- Fear of breaking a layout or navigation
- Editors getting lost in sidebars and hidden settings
- Plugin and theme vulnerabilities that create unnecessary risk
The shift Inclusive CMS makes
Inclusive CMS gives higher education teams the kind of structure and separation they have been missing. Editors work in a clear, focused environment tuned for content, while the public site runs as fast static HTML.
- A clear, focused editor built for content teams
- Structure that mirrors the reality of higher education sites
- Guidance toward accessibility as editors work
- No plugin or theme layers to maintain
- A public site served as static HTML for security and speed
- AI helpers for alt text, summaries, and pre publish checks
Edit fast, publish clean, and stay accessible.
Inclusive CMS brings clarity to higher-ed editing. Pages are built as simple sections, accessibility guidance happens as you work, and publishing produces fast, secure static HTML. Editors feel confident making changes, and the public site stays stable without plugins or fragile templates.
Features that match the reality of campus content.
Inclusive CMS focuses on the elements that show up over and over on higher education sites and gives them first class tools. Accessibility, structure, media, and security all work together instead of competing for attention.
Accessibility
Accessibility in the editor
Accessibility is built into every edit. Inclusive CMS uses accessible section designs, validates headings, supports keyboard navigation, and suggests alt text. Editors move closer to ADA and WCAG 2.2 AA without extra steps.
Site structure
Content that stays organized
Structure matches how university sites actually work. Pages live in a clear tree, news and pages have dedicated workflows, directories connect to HR data, and the mega navigation builder keeps large menus manageable.
Editing flow
Designed for busy teams
Editing stays simple and steady. Tap to edit on the page, autosave protects your work, and quick navigation or pins keep important pages close. Drag and drop reorders content, and even occasional editors can update with confidence.
Media library
Media that stays accessible
A fast, accessible media library. Search across thousands of files, filter by tags or categories, and generate responsive variants automatically. AI helps with alt text, descriptions, and tags, and can summarize videos so visitors know what to expect.
Content freshness
Content that stays current
Content stays current without manual audits. Inclusive CMS tracks review dates, flags stale pages, and sends reminders before information ages. Insights show what needs attention so editors can update content before it becomes outdated.
Setup and security
CMS and public site in clearly separated spaces
A secure foundation without plugin risk. Inclusive CMS publishes fast, clean static HTML while the editor and database stay isolated from the public site. No plugin stack to maintain and backups are as simple as copying HTML.
A CMS that looks as good as it feels to use.
Clear layouts and strong contrast help editors stay focused. These placeholders can be replaced with screenshots from your own Inclusive CMS setup when you are ready.
A clean, structured view of your entire site. Pinned pages highlight priority content, and the tree makes even large university sites feel manageable.
Section based page editing that feels natural. Inline text editing, autosave, and responsive previews help editors stay focused without distractions.
A fast, searchable library with built in accessibility support. AI suggestions for alt text and descriptions help keep every file ready for public use.
From sign in to published page in three clear steps.
Inclusive CMS is intentionally straightforward so that even occasional editors can sign in, make updates, and publish without a long training session.
Find your page
Use search, pinned pages, or the page tree to reach the content you want to update. Even large, distributed sites stay easy to navigate.
Edit with confidence
Edit content in structured sections that match real page layouts. Inline text editing, autosave, and responsive previews keep editors focused. Accessibility guidance and optional AI helpers support you as you work.
QA check and publish
Before publishing, the QA assistant highlights accessibility needs, missing alt text, or potential content issues. When everything looks right, publish a clean static HTML version of the page that is fast, secure, and simple to host.
Accessibility
Accessibility is built into the way you work.
Inclusive CMS weaves accessibility into every part of the workflow. Section types are reviewed for accessibility, so editors start with layouts that meet strong standards. The editor provides helpful nudges for headings, structure, reading clarity, and meaningful link text, while AI suggests alt text and media descriptions without changing the institution voice.
A page level check highlights accessibility issues before publishing so updates are clear, consistent, and inclusive from the start.
- Accessible section designs validated against WCAG 2.2 AA
- Guidance for headings, content structure, and clarity
- Keyboard friendly editing and navigation
- Shared components built with ARIA support
- Page level accessibility review before publishing
Higher education
A content platform that actually understands higher education.
Inclusive CMS is designed for the realities of higher education, where websites serve many audiences and content ownership is distributed across departments. Each editor has a clear space to work, and permissions keep updates organized without slowing anyone down.
Built for distributed teams
Support many departments and editors while keeping brand, voice, and quality aligned in one shared system. Clear permissions and ownership keep work moving without losing control.
Ready for content rich sites
News, directories, and campus navigation are treated as core experiences, not afterthoughts. Section types and menus reflect the depth of academic programs, student services, and administrative units.
Built for the long run
Content review reminders, structured workflows, and static HTML output help the site grow without becoming fragile. The platform supports long term stability while giving teams the autonomy they need to keep information current.
What we are seeing across campus teams.
Inclusive CMS is still early, but the results from campus editors and IT teams are already clear. Editors publish faster and with more confidence, and IT spends less time fixing layout issues or plugin problems.
Real feedback from editors
- “I do like editing pages on here much more than our previous CMS.”
- “After using it, I feel very confident this will help keep us compliant, consistent, and modern.”
- “Swapping between different layouts in a section and having the live preview before saving worked really well.”
What IT teams notice
- Fewer emergencies from broken layouts or plugins
- More predictable deployments with static HTML output
- Greater confidence in accessibility progress over time
- Fewer security risks because the public site is static HTML
- No plugin or theme vulnerabilities to patch
