NDIT has partnered with Monsido to offer ongoing, regular website quality scanning services to assist agencies with finding and monitoring potential issues on their websites.

Site owners will be provided a dashboard which, based on feature package, will provide information on their site. Site owners will also be put in contact with our partner for full support of the product and assistance with initial set up.
Base products include:
- Web Accessibility
- Mobile Accessibility
- Site Inventory
- Training and Support
How do you request service?
If your agency is interested, NDIT’s Self Service Portal may be used to submit a generic request with “Web Governance” in the description. Review the billing information in the table below to estimate the monthly rate. Please note that if your agency chooses to scan documents, they are counted towards your overall page count.
Once the request has been approved by your agency, you’ll be contacted by a member of the User Experience Design Team to verify pages/docs, evaluate, and begin the onboarding process with our partner.
Billing:
Rates are charged based on the number of pages (or pages plus docs) on the website and level of features required. These rates align with our vendor’s standard packages but are provided to the State at a discount.
