Challenge
- To develop a website that is accessible to an audience that includes users with specific needs.
- To provide a dual language (English/French) site that can be managed without doubling the effort.
- To achieve specific functionality requests like location searches and two-way communication within a manageable budget.
Approach
- Provided custom development and design to accommodate Parkinson Canada’s unique user group needs (using clicks instead of hover for menu items, providing large clickable areas, etc.).
- Used WordPress themes and plugins for a reliable infrastructure and premium features without custom development.
- Selected a premium WordPress plugin for translation management solutions.
- Customized Blackbaud’s Luminate™ online donation form to greatly improve user experience and drive more impact for the organization.
Outcome
- The website’s professional and modern design and build enables quick access (with a high level of accessibility) to information and support for those dealing with Parkinson’s and their friends, family and loved ones.
- The dual language site eliminates the hassle of managing two separate sites and provides visitors with a clear path between languages.
- The website offers plenty of opportunities for high-level engagement with visitors.
