Accessibility and Branding in Aggie UX

Aggie UX provides the visual framework for users to experience the Texas A&M story online. It is our responsibility to uphold the integrity of the Texas A&M brand and help build positive associations of Texas A&M through the creation of an accessible, brand-compliant web design system.

Texas A&M Branding in Aggie UX

Aggie UX pulls colors, fonts, unit identities and visual style from the brand guide to create a polished, consistent experience across websites. Because our design system shares assets of the Texas A&M brand guide, when a user is directed to a website from a branded brochure or digital sign, there will be a consistent experience between media.

Aggie UX and Accessibility

As a public institution, Texas A&M is responsible for creating digital platforms that are accessible to all. We adhere to the Section 508 standards for web accessibility, ensuring that those using assisted technologies can effectively navigate our web pages.
