Partnering with Colorado State University to Deliver an Accessible WordPress Solution

FIREANT STUDIO + Colorado State University Accessible WordPress Solution
FIREANT Studio is excited to announce a new partnership with Colorado State University (CSU). Together, we’re embarking on an exciting project to create a responsive enterprise WordPress solution tailored to the specific needs of CSU’s Parking and Transportation Services division.

A Commitment to Accessibility
At the heart of this project is a strong commitment to WCAG accessibility. By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that the solution is inclusive and usable by individuals with disabilities. This means a better experience for all users, including students, faculty, and staff.

Optimizing the User Experience
One of our primary goals is to optimize the user experience for real-time student and faculty support. The new WordPress solution will provide a seamless and efficient way to:
- Access real-time parking data: Users can easily check parking availability and plan their routes accordingly.
- Receive timely updates and alerts: Stay informed about parking lot closures, construction, and other important notifications.
- Get support: Quickly connect with parking services staff to address any questions or concerns.

A Flexible WordPress Solution
WordPress, a powerful and versatile content management system, will serve as the foundation for this project. We’ll leverage WordPress’s flexibility to create a custom solution that meets CSU’s unique requirements. By utilizing a modular approach, we can ensure that the solution is adaptable to future needs and changes.
Specific features of the WordPress solution include:
- Real-time parking data integration: The solution will integrate with CSU’s existing parking data systems to provide up-to-date information on parking availability.
- Responsive mobile-friendly design: The solution will be optimized for mobile devices, allowing users to access information and services on the go.
- Accessibility features: The solution will be built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, ensuring that it is accessible to all users, regardless of ability.
- User-friendly interface: The solution will have a clean and intuitive interface, making it easy for users to find the information they need.

Project Challenges
With any project of this size and magnitude there are always unique and exciting challenges to over come, that if done correctly truly elevate the user experience and ensure higher rates of conversions.
- Integrating with existing systems: CSU has a number of existing systems that need to be integrated with the new WordPress solution. FIREANT Studio has a team of experienced developers who are experts in system integration.
- Providing a easier buyer’s journey: The project has specific goals to ensure we’re providing an efficient and elevated buyers journey for purchasing parking passes, renting fleet vehicles and paying citations.
- Ensuring WCAG compliance: WCAG compliance can be complex, but FIREANT Studio has a team of accessibility experts who can help ensure that the solution meets all the necessary requirements.
