The Moreton Bay Regional is one of the fastest developing areas
in Australia with diverse communities and landscape. The council in
this area provides a range of services and facilities that are used
every day.
THE BRIEF
The Moreton Bay Regional Council has a range of services,
facilities, programs and information for residents and visitors and
it is important that all of this information is accessible to all.
The website needed to highlight important news and events in the
region as well as providing quick links to regularly used
services.
THE SOLUTION
A main factor in the redesign of this website was accessibility
compliance (WCAG 2.0) and improved information architecture. This
is an important factor in the redesign of government and
semi-government websites where information is accessible by a wide
variety of users, some with disabilities or impairments.
In designing a solution, Zeroseven looked at the type of
information that would be accessed, fonts, colours and layout. The
colour palette was carefully selected for compliance and all links,
titles and content was carefully considered for compliance.
To create a consistent look and feel for all council services
and programs, a common visual language was created, and one that
could be customised for specific programs with a unique look and
feel, such as the 'Cultural Heart' facilities consisting of
galleries and other arts programs and events.

- Accessibility compliant design (WCAG 2.0)
