Project: Recnik.edu.mk

Accessibility isn’t just about compliance, it’s about creating a better web experience for everyone.

For this project, the goal was to transform an existing WordPress website into a fully accessible digital experience while preserving its original design, functionality, and user experience. Our team implemented a complete set of accessibility improvements aligned with WCAG 2.1 standards, making the platform easier to use for people with disabilities and more inclusive for every visitor.

The challenge we were given

The existing website functioned well visually, but it lacked many of the accessibility features required by modern web standards.

Some of the key challenges included:

  • Missing accessibility features across the website
  • Navigation barriers for keyboard and assistive technology users
  • Content that wasn't fully optimized for screen readers
  • Need to comply with WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines
  • Preserve the existing WordPress theme and overall design

What we delivered:

We performed a comprehensive accessibility implementation across the website, focusing on usability, compliance, and seamless integration with the existing WordPress setup.

Our work included:
