A website designed and built to comply with accessibility standards
When designing for the legal industry, it is crucial to convey trust and credibility. As with any law firm website design project, good end-to-end User-Experience (UX) is vital. The site must look clean and professional and be easy to navigate. For the Legal Services Board, we were briefed to design and develop a website that didn’t just hint towards UX, but that complied with digital accessibility standards, meeting level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1)
Accessibility standards are set to ensure your website can be used by as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. Visual impairment, someone’s ability to work a computer or mobile device, even the browser they are using to access the site are all components to be considered.
For law firm website design, accessibility is an important subject to think about. If you are in the legal profession would like help with your website design or brand identity, please get in touch.
To comply with accessibility standards, you must consider accessibility within all aspects of the website design from the ground up.
Factors such as these shaped the design structure for this project, giving the site a very clean and precise style, with functionality and accessibility in mind.
As the oversight regulator of legal services in England and Wales, the Legal Services Board website holds a vast database of information, which creates a labyrinth a pages and content. As with all law firm website design projects, getting to grips with complex site maps is a challenge, but with careful planning this needn’t be a problem.
