Governance
Silktide tests your websites continuously and organises what it finds into four scored modules: Content, Accessibility, User Experience, and Compliance. Each module focuses on one aspect of website quality and has its own screens, checks, and score. Inventory is not scored - it is the catalogue of everything Silktide found. Targets sit alongside the modules so you can set goals for the scores and metrics they produce.
Sites in the nav rail opens the website you last viewed on this device. If there is no last site, or you have several and none remembered, you land on the Sites list. Inside a website, the sidebar header (or the toolbar on a small screen) is a site switcher: the current site's sections, other sites, All sites, and New section.
