Why Drake Cooper Supports WordPress Accessibility Day
Drake Cooper believes that accessibility is not only a legal requirement but also an issue of fairness and equity. As a trusted partner, they have a responsibility to their clients and their brands to recognize, understand, and address accessibility issues in the work they deliver, and to help educate stakeholders along the way.
They also believe that being accessible does not have to mean sacrificing interesting design and creative messaging. They are interested in exploring ways to design experiences that are accessible, equitable, and innovative.
Accessibility is Not Just a Layer, But Key to the Drake Cooper Process
Drake Cooper employs a number of tools and processes to continually improve the accessibility of the websites they build and maintain, including their own. Their designers and developers are trained in accessibility best practices, and they collaborate with other teams in the agency to grow overall understanding of accessibility issues.
They’ve found the approach that works best, and for their clients, is to prioritize accessibility through the entire process. In tandem with engagement, Drake Cooper sees accessibility as more than just a “layer” to apply at the end. By baking it into the design, content, and development of a website, accessibility becomes a quality of the end product rather than a compromise.
Find Your Effectiveness with Findability
Drake Cooper offers a service called Findability™, which is their way of working at the intersection of paid and organic search, UX effectiveness, and accessibility. With Findability™, they’re able to evaluate the degree to which a brand is findable in the marketplace—and to be findable, one must be accessible.
