IT recommends $12,133.80 SilkTide subscription to scan county website for ADA issues
Summary
IT proposed replacing the county's Monsido contract with a SilkTide subscription at $12,133.80 per year to automate ADA scanning, broken-link detection and content issues on the public website; the board added the item to next week's formal agenda.
IT staff recommended board approval of a $12,133.80 annual subscription to SilkTide to scan the county's public website for ADA compliance, broken links and other content issues and to provide department heads with lists of fixes.
"This tool allows us...It scans through the pages. It looks for ADA type compliance issues. It looks for broken links. Looks for wording, looks for grammar, and finds all the mistakes that are out there," the IT director said. Staff said SilkTide is a few hundred dollars cheaper per year than the previous vendor, Monsido, and gives county staff tools to make corrections without vendor delays.
The board agreed to add the subscription to the next formal meeting agenda for approval. IT said the tool has been useful in the past for identifying accessibility items and streamlining corrections across departments.
