UI/UX

The mapping out and design of the interface began with website wireframes. Once the client was satisfied with the look, the website was developed. Since the website gets a lot of traffic from visually impaired users, it was imperative that the website had no accessibility flaws. The website went through extensive user testing to ensure no semantic issues, and that the user could navigate the website with ease.

Web Development

A three tiered website mockup of the Guide Dogs website
The Guide Dogs website was designed to give the organization an updated look, and to ensure an accessible website for individuals who are blind or have accessibility issues. The previous website was outdated, was not mobile friendly, had accessibility concerns, and was hard to navigate too information. The Guide Dogs website was developed using HTML, CSS, and Wordpress to allow the user to update the website with no design or coding experience.
