Content first design

Content-first design is an approach where the content for your project determines the design of the site. It means the needs of the user are met and the website is not compromised by poorly conceived layouts.

User-centric design

Taking a mobile first approach The PASS website features a user-centric content design with intuitive navigation, clear layout, with content tailored to the needs of different stakeholder groups. Information is organised logically and accessible through clearly labelled navigation menus and in page calls to action.

Accessibility standards compliance

We ensured that the PASS website adheres to accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2AA) to ensure inclusivity and accessibility for users with disabilities. This includes providing alternative text for images, keyboard navigation support, and colour contrast optimisation.

Key features

Content first

Basestation used a content-first design approach for this project that prioritises the creation and organisation of content before focusing on visual design elements or technical implementation.

Taking a component-based approach to website development complements content-first design by providing a flexible and scalable framework for organising and presenting content effectively.
