Transforming Government Services through Inclusive Design

Our award-winning DOL website overhaul demonstrates the widespread advantages of inclusive design practices. By implementing intuitive navigation tailored for individuals with disabilities, we streamlined the customer experience for all visitors. Additionally, our clear content structure, optimized for those with visual impairments, ensures improved readability across the board.

Encouraging Inclusive Design in Government Agencies

We advocate for the widespread adoption of inclusive design principles within government agencies. By embracing these principles, agencies can:

  • Enhance customer experience through inclusive design.
  • Expand civic engagement by serving a broader audience.
  • Cultivate trust and credibility by demonstrating a commitment to serving all customers equally.

We're honored to be part of these impactful projects, and we extend our gratitude to the MUSE Creative Awards for acknowledging our efforts. Special thanks to the DOL team, our partner, WaTech, and all the customers involved in the design process. Together, we're making a meaningful difference.
