Accessible Website Redesign for Visually Impaired Users to Boost Engagement in Science Education

WCAG · EdTech
CONTEXT

For the Eclipse Soundscapes Project, I played a key role in redesigning the website to make it fully accessible and compliant with WCAG standards. This project, supported by NASA, aimed to create a multi-sensory experience of the solar eclipse for all users, especially the visually impaired. I collaborated with 2 other designers to ensure the site met the needs of blind and low-vision users, while also improving the overall user experience.

TEAM

OVERVIEW
PROCESS
The redesign process began with a group Heuristic Evaluation to identify as many usability issues as possible across the existing website. We then organized these issues into broader, actionable categories for targeted improvements.
