Website
Overview
Working with a new brand beautifully created by designer Lindsay Baker (Popgaze), I created a website that helped better communicate their strengths and work, but also made sure accessibility was not an afterthought.
Accessibility couldn't be a last-minute addon here; it had to sit at the heart of the build, the same way it does in their creative process. Alongside a robust, standards-led foundation, the site has a built-in accessibility panel, letting visitors switch to high contrast, grayscale or inverted colours, increase text size, highlight links, use a dyslexia-friendly font, hide images or collapse everything into a single column, with their choices saved for next time.
The result is a bold, flexible site that showcases productions, impact, services and stories, and that the team can easily manage and grow themselves.
Thanks to everyone involved
