Content design

We design informational content to answer users’ needs. We meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards and are guided by usability research. Content we create can be comprehended, trusted and acted on in a wide range of user contexts. For example, when they:

  • are scan reading
  • have physical or cognitive accessibility challenges
  • have limited literacy or fluency
  • experience exclusion or vulnerability in society
  • are emotionally overwhelmed or tired
  • are multi-tasking

Our process 💡

  1. Research user needs and search terms.
  2. Think and sketch information presentation concept: content type and format. This could be a series of pages, a tool, steps – or simply an error message.
  3. Prototype: create a lo-fi interactive version. This could be linked Google documents, a design flow, CMS preview pages or HTML content.
  4. Test with users.
  5. Iterate and test the content, until it is highly usable.
  6. Maintain relevancy and accuracy of live content.
