Personas & Problems

Logo, Typography & Color palette

The design conveys that diverse people, including those with disabilities represented by eight different colors, should have equal access to the resource. The resource is placed at the center to show that it is accessible to all. The icons are inspired by those used on maps to represent people in different regions, highlighting the diversity of the audience.

We chose a primarily white background with black text to ensure that messages are presented clearly and are easy to read. For accents, we use blue, green, and orange that match our logo, guiding the user’s focus to key elements.

What worked

Users understood the purpose of the website and navigated the main flow without confusion. They easily found the “Get to Checklist” action and felt comfortable submitting their information.

What didn't

Users were unsure about what to do after completing the checklist. Some expected more guidance and additional information about accessibility.

High-Fidelity Prototype

Based on testing insights, I enhanced the experience so that after users complete the accessibility checklist, they are shown a score and receive tailored recommendations for relevant accessibility resources.

Summary & Next Steps

Equal Access is a project designed to support initiatives that promote equal access for everyone, including people with disabilities, by providing an accessibility checklist.

Based on user feedback, the checklist will be improved by reducing its length and refining the content to make it more concise, clear, and easier to understand.
