The Challenge
Focus On Accessibility
Accessibility has been the number one goal for PADDC in terms of how a user with visual disabilities would be able to interact with the site. Rather than using the browser to increase and decrease the size of all elements, the site features a type size control in the header, increasing only the size of the type, not all elements. An spoken audio is currently being implemented.
The Website
Staying Current
PADDC values their news section as it is their number one way to keep users updated. Articles reflect both additions to the website and political impacts on Pennsylvanian’s with disabilities. Users can also elect to sign up for a newsletter.
Viewing Available Grants
Part of what made PADDC’s previous site difficult to navigate was the presentation and location of important resources. Information, such as which grants are available, are important and should be presented in a way that is obvious.

More detailed screenshots of the apps are placed throughout the site in order to give users a better view of what it is capable of. Additionally, accompanying text can be found with each image to better explain what is happening on the screen.
