Calgary Arts Development aimed to revamp their website to better serve their diverse community while enhancing accessibility and usability. The redesigned site includes advanced search functionality, allowing users to quickly and easily find various content types such as events, profiles, announcements, projects, and programs. The site also features several application and submission forms to streamline interaction and engagement.

Accessibility was a primary focus, with the website reviewed by an accessibility hub during design and development to ensure it meets the needs of all users. Accessibility settings, such as text resizing and high-contrast modes, were implemented to support different user requirements. The site is accessible in multiple languages, making it easier for visitors from various backgrounds to navigate.

We prioritized a clear and intuitive navigation structure, creating landing pages that make important information easy to find. The search functionality has been significantly improved, offering more efficiency than the previous version. Additionally, the site’s continuous content updates required careful planning to identify a launch window that aligned with Calgary Arts Development’s schedule.

The new website offers an inclusive and streamlined user experience, supporting Calgary Arts Development’s mission to connect and engage with the community.
