“Developing an app for a university is always a tremondous undertaking, especially since the UI must be accessible to people with disabilities.” We had to consider WCAG 2.1 guidelines when building the UI / UX of this application, which substantially affected the workflow and design approach. “We chose minimalism to make the app appear modern while also being adaptable to a wider range of clients.”

Our conclusions

The UI / UX design of the university’s application, taking into account the standards of WCAG 2.1, is a challenge not just in terms of interface design.

It entails programming implementation difficulties. However, it is a highly forward-thinking commercial decision that, above all, displays the school’s beliefs. Because it is worthwhile to pay attention to distinct groups of people and respond to their needs. We are delighted that we were able to make a small contribution to improving educational accessibility.
