New design software is now available at no charge to UConn and UConn Health employees, including student workers. ITS has purchased an enterprise-license for Venngage, a platform for creating professional visuals that includes built-in accessibility features.
Venngage, like Canva and Adobe Express, offers a drag-and-drop interface, large template library, AI designer, and brand kits, including one pre-stocked with UConn logos, colors, and fonts. What differentiates Venngage from the other two products is its focus on accessibility. Built-in tools, such as color contrast checking, accessibility validation, and accessible templates, let you create accessible content from the start and avoid a lengthy remediation process.
Who Is Eligible?
Venngage is available to:
- UConn employees
- UConn Health employees
- Student workers with a student worker NetID*
*Student workers must create their account using their student worker account, not their personal student account.
Cost: There is no cost to departments, colleges, schools, or units. ITS has purchased a university-wide license.
Getting Started
Why switch to Venngage?
For UConn employees, Venngage is a good option because it offers professional quality design capabilities, is free of charge to employees, and enables accessibility-focused design, reducing the need for remediation later in the process.
