Web Design and Section 508
We Start by Asking You
Who is your target audience? What are their tastes in terms of design and color? Are there bandwidth considerations? How can you communicate most effectively with your users? What factors will influence the design of your project? We will help you to ask all the right questions.Organizing the Information
Information architecture and interface design are the most critical components of any website project. By creating a strong foundation and plan for your site navigation, you will ensure your users can find information quickly and easily. Visual design begins in earnest only when these blueprints for the development of the site have been firmly established, ensuring a smooth and directed process.Graphic Design
Graphic design starts with a review of any existing materials, competitors, and other sites. Here we focus on look and feel: color, photography, illustration, typography, and layout. From cutting edge to elegantly conservative, we help you to stand out through appropriate, effective design. WebFirst helps you to use design for its intended purpose - communicating effectively with your audience.Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Toolkit
CPS needed a way to deliver information in a user-friendly format to the appropriate school stakeholders (principals, school administrators, etc.) WebFirst developed a web-based system to meet the CPS goals.
NCHEMS Information Center for Higher Education Policymaking and Analysis
WebFirst helped The National Center for Higher Education Management Systems publish timely statistical and graphical reports through dynamic web site development.
TechMatrix
American Institutes for Research (AIR) has engaged WebFirst to redevelop the techmatrix.org website. The TechMatrix is a powerful tool for finding assistive and learning technology products for students with special needs.
Always Trust the Designer
Design is much more than "look and feel." Design is a philosophy and an attitude, encompassing everything from layout and color to architecture and interface to typography and illustration.
