Employ Milwaukee is the workforce development board serving Milwaukee County.
Employ Milwaukee had a very dated website that restricted it from easily making changes and updates, and the Employ Milwaukee team wanted a more engaging website that better targeted the needs of it users. Northwoods led a complete refresh of the site, from design to content, working with the Employ Milwaukee committee to better understand user needs and developing a more intuitive user experience.
Additionally, the Employ Milwaukee team knew that the accessibility of the website was important for their users and their organization as a whole. With accessibility prioritized from the start of the project, we were able to ensure accessibility was built into the initial design – focusing in particular on color contrast and clear interactive states. Keyboard interaction features such as bypass links and offering multiple ways to access content were also included during development.
With the Employ Milwaukee team focused on continuing accessibility compliance through the use of alternative text, hierarchical heading levels and descriptive link text, the new site is well-optimized for accessibility compliance.
