The TDSBÂ required a flexible website framework that could support nearly 475 schools while maintaining a consistent user experience and visual identity across the organization.
I designed responsive, accessibility-compliant website templates for both elementary and secondary schools. The system provided a consistent foundation while allowing individual schools to personalize their websites through customizable colour palettes and other visual elements.
Accessibility was a key design consideration. In addition to meeting accessibility standards, I introduced optional viewing modes that allowed users to switch to high-contrast, low-contrast, and dyslexia-friendly themes using dedicated accessibility controls.
The platform also strengthened board-wide communications. Because important messages often needed to reach every school simultaneously, I designed multiple communication mechanisms, including homepage promotional banners and emergency notification areas capable of displaying snow day announcements, lockdown notices, and other critical alerts.
