DJ-University is a YOOtheme Pro web builder-based, engaging, accessible Joomla & WordPress solution for anything education-related. If you are building a school website, this accessibility-ready tool will help you. Using a WCAG solution is an excellent foundation for creating a site that complies with accessibility requirements.

DJ-University is a ready-to-use Joomla and WordPress portal, comprehensive WCAG-compliant, and working with YOOtheme Pro web builder. It's purposed for schools and universities but suits well for any public institution.

It contains all the functions necessary to create an accessible website that complies with the WCAG standard and is extremely easy to manage, thanks to the Yootheme website builder.

If you need to follow the requirements to have a WCAG-compliant website (or want to allow users to access the complete information on the site), this solution is the right choice. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines set standards and guidelines for web accessibility, and they mainly concern older people and people with disabilities for whom existing solutions were not accessible.
