This contribution presents the ongoing work to develop the Sensing the Dynamic Universe (SDU) webpage elements, based on the sonoUno framework, a user centered software for sonification of astronomical data. The SDU provides an inclusive experience that transcends the approach of assuming and limiting design based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and ISO recommendations.
