Blue Trunk Foundation
A web application built to bridge the gap between travel and accessibility. Users can filter business search results to fit their unique needs, making travel simple and accessible for everybody.
the vision
Enabling individuals with disabilities to have the resources and information available to make travel more accessible.
the design
Universal accessibility for all meant starting with the web user. To accommodate all users the application was built using WCAG 2.1 guidelines. The design uses a minimalist approach with distinguished elements to avoid confusion and increase legibility for any user.
dynamic contrast
Using a 7:1 contrast ratio makes content easily legible and distinguishable on the page. A contrast filter allows you to switch between light and dark contrast to aid users with visual impairments.
the impact
Blue Trunk’s mission was to fill a gap they found where there are few resources available for accessible travel accommodations. Disabilities are both visible and invisible, according to the CDC 1 in 4 people live with a disability. The application empowers everybody to travel with accommodation and experience all life offers.
