Background

Blue Ridge Adaptive Snow Sports (BRASS) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enhance the lives of people with disabilities through adaptive snow sports and recreational activities.

Problem

Because BRASS offers ski and snowboard instruction to children and adults with various types of disabilities, the website needed to be accessible (ADA compliant) and appeal to various age groups. It also needed to be easy for volunteers to update.

Solution

For the design, we started by updating the color palette to be accessible. We placed large photos at the top of each page to showcase the enjoyable experience the skiers and snowboarders have (both the volunteers in the organization and the individuals they assist).

The home page includes information that most visitors are looking for when they come to the site, so that makes it easy for them to find.

We copied over the content from the non-dynamic site into WordPress and remediated it to be accessible as well.

We modified the backend of the website, adding in instructions and fields for volunteers to be able to update the site easily and to maintain the accessibility of the website as they update it.
