Building one of Australia's most accessible websites: a WCAG success story

The AND project exemplifies why accessible web design is smart business strategy as well as good practice. Most websites excludes millions of potential users who face barriers to engaging with websites relating to vision, hearing or learning impairments. Our brief was to design and develop a website which served everyone.

We worked alongside WCAG accessibility consultants to ensure the website was WCAG compliant, which is easier to achieve than you might think, which is why it’s quite surprising how few WCAG compliant websites there are online.

The AND website was a thrill to be involved with as it opens the door to genuine opportunities for thousands of Australians who might otherwise struggle to perform the simplest of modern tasks, like finding work on the job market. And for employers, it helps them connect with an underutilised and unrecognised talent pool of capable, motivated workers.
