About the Project
The Vision Australia Website redesign project was a comprehensive initiative that seamlessly integrated the principles of a Design System and accessible page builder within a multi-site environment on Drupal. The goal was to enhance usability, accessibility, and brand consistency, providing a fully accessible experience for users with blindness and low vision. The project also aimed to integrate complex third-party systems and ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 AAA standards.
Client Challenges
Vision Australia faced several challenges with their existing website:
Outdated Design: The website's design did not meet current accessibility standards and was not representative of Vision Australia's brand.
Complex Integrations: Needed seamless integration with third-party systems like Netsuite, Salesforce, OKTA, and MuleSoft.
Accessibility Compliance: Ensuring the website met WCAG 2.1 AAA standards for accessibility.
Content Management: Simplifying content creation and management for blind and low vision content editors.
Consistency: Maintaining brand consistency across multiple microsites within a multi-site architecture.
User Engagement: Enhancing user experience and engagement for visitors with disabilities.
Our solutions
Enterprise Monkey established a unique design system tailored for Vision Australia, enabling their marketing team to efficiently produce on-brand, WCAG-compliant website content. We developed a fully accessible Drupal page builder, allowing blind and low vision content editors to generate new pages and campaigns without requiring HTML knowledge. The project included complex integrations with systems like Netsuite, Salesforce, OKTA, and MuleSoft, ensuring seamless synchronization between backend and frontend experiences. Additionally, the design system was applied across multiple microsites within the Drupal multi-site architecture, ensuring a cohesive visual identity.

The redesigned Drupal website for Vision Australia resulted in several positive outcomes:
Enhanced Accessibility: Compliance with WCAG 2.1 AAA standards ensured a fully accessible experience for all users, including those with blindness and low vision.
Streamlined Content Creation: The design system and accessible page builder enabled efficient content creation, significantly reducing the time and effort required.
Improved User Engagement: The user-friendly interface and enhanced accessibility features led to a notable increase in user engagement and satisfaction.
Consistent Brand Identity: The application of the design system across multiple microsites ensured a cohesive and consistent brand identity.
Seamless Integrations: The complex integrations with third-party systems improved data synchronisation and operational efficiency.
High Client Satisfaction: Vision Australia expressed significant satisfaction with the redesigned website, highlighting the successful collaboration and positive impact on their operations and user experience.
Aamir and his team are responsive, technical savvy, and just hard working. Looking at our front end user interface belies what is under the hood. Complex connections have been seamlessly integrated, just like an orchestra, all working in sync and in time with each other. We couldn’t be happier with our outcome.
