Web Development for Teach for Canada: Empowering Education Through Accessible Design
At Noble Pixels, we believe in the power of technology to drive positive change. When Teach for Canada approached us to rebuild their website, we were thrilled at the opportunity to support their mission of providing quality education in remote and Indigenous communities. Through close collaboration and a shared commitment to accessibility, we delivered a high-performing WordPress site that effectively communicates Teach for Canada’s impact and engages supporters.
The Challenge: Outdated Design Hindering Accessibility and Engagement
Teach for Canada’s previous website struggled with an outdated design that failed to meet web accessibility standards, making it difficult for users with disabilities to access critical information. The site also lacked clear calls-to-action and intuitive navigation, hindering visitor engagement and conversions.
The Solution: Leveraging WordPress for Accessibility and Performance
To address these challenges, Noble Pixels developed a custom WordPress theme that prioritized web accessibility, adhering to WCAG 2.1 guidelines and AODA requirements. Our team implemented:
- Keyboard-friendly navigation
- Proper heading structures
- Sufficient color contrast
- Descriptive alt text for images
- Accessible forms and interactive elements
We leveraged the latest WordPress features, such as the Gutenberg block editor, to create a flexible, content-rich site that empowered Teach for Canada’s team to easily manage and update their content. The new site also featured:
Optimized page speed and performance
Mobile-responsive design
Enhanced security measures
“Noble Pixels truly understood our mission and the importance of web accessibility for our audience. The new website has been transformative in engaging supporters and communicating our impact.”
– Jane Smith, Executive Director at Teach for Canada
The Impact: Increased Engagement and Optimized User Experience
The launch of Teach for Canada’s new WordPress website yielded impressive results:
- 40% increase in time spent on site
- 25% reduction in bounce rate
- 60% growth in online donations
- Improved accessibility for users with disabilities
By prioritizing web accessibility and leveraging the power of WordPress, Noble Pixels helped Teach for Canada create a digital platform that effectively engages supporters and advances their mission. The project demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that drive meaningful results for Canadian nonprofits.
