FP Advisor Case Study
FP Advisor is Canada’s largest database of corporate information. It's a product of the same team behind the Financial Post. It’s a useful resource, but because of the age of the website it had various accessibility concerns and was beginning to look outdated.
I was consulted at the beginning of the project to do some initial setup work. I created a good project structure, created some layouts, and added some accessible components (such as textboxes, navs, footers, etc.)
The new site looks great on both mobile and desktop and is very accessible. It has accessibility features such as a “Skip Navigation” button, all the interactive controls have focus states and labels, and the complex widgets are built with the latest accessibility best practices.
Postmedia Hub Case Study
Postmedia Hub is a marketing analytics platform included free of charge to any Postmedia Marketing customer. I've consulted with various projects related to The Hub including helping make it mobile friendly and accessible.
