About the Project

The task: create a WordPress blog site that university members could use to post articles about the many ways the university contributes to the community and environmental topics. The content was filterable by each of the different schools within the agency and was displayed in an infinite scroll style on the main page. Articles consisted of:

  • images
  • videos
  • slideshows
  • downloadable content
  • links to articles on other properties

All of the university’s websites comply with the WCAG 2.0 AA guidelines, so this site was built to comply with those guidelines as well. It underwent rigourous testing by a QA team experienced in WCAG compliancy and was blessed by both the QA and university teams.
