The Disability Resource Centre

Introduction

The Disability Resource Centre (DRC) stands as a pivotal beacon of support and empowerment for individuals of all ages affected by disabilities or health conditions. As an independent organisation and registered charity, their mission to enable people to achieve their full potential and aspirations is both vital and inspiring. Recognising the critical role of digital presence in expanding their reach and impact, the DRC partnered with us to design and develop a new website that reflects their values and mission.

Website Design

‍The design phase of the DRC website focused on accessibility and user-friendliness, ensuring that visitors of all abilities could easily navigate the site and access the information they need. Our approach was to create a clean, inviting, and intuitive design that facilitates easy access to resources, services, and information. We incorporated accessibility features that adhere to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) to ensure that the website is inclusive for all users.

Website Development

‍Built with WordPress, the DRC website offers a flexible, scalable platform that can grow with the organisation. WordPress was chosen for its robust content management system (CMS), allowing DRC staff to easily update content, add new resources, and post upcoming events. The website features detailed sections on the services offered by the DRC, including support groups, training sessions, and advocacy services, all organised in an easy-to-navigate structure.

Website Training

‍To empower the DRC team to take full control of their new website, we provided an hour of detailed training at the project's completion. This training covered all aspects of website management, including content creation, page editing, and basic troubleshooting. Our goal was to ensure that the DRC team feels confident and equipped to keep their website up to date and engaging for their audience.

Conclusion

‍The new website for The Disability Resource Centre is more than just an online platform; it's a gateway for individuals seeking support, information, and empowerment. Through thoughtful design and strategic development, we've created a digital space that aligns with DRC's mission of fostering potential and aspirations among those affected by disabilities or health conditions. This project reflects our commitment to delivering solutions that not only meet our clients' needs but also make a positive impact on the community.
