Project Introduction
We are undertaking a comprehensive redesign of the 511.org website to enhance its visual appeal, structural integrity, and overall user experience. The primary goal is to disseminate accurate, reliable, and up-to-date transportation information for all modes of travel within the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.
BackgroundOur team at Kalamuna, along with partners Convey, GreenInfo, and Optibus (formerly Trillium), had previously replaced the infrastructure powering real-time data on maps and alerts via the 511.org API Gateway in 2022 and 2023. Building on this foundation, we embarked on a project to modernize the website's UX/UI, improve accessibility, and enhance performance.
Impact- Improved User Experience: The redesigned website offers a more intuitive and enjoyable experience, making it easier for users to access the information they need.
- Accessibility Compliance: Achieved compliance with Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA standards, expanding the website's usability to a broader audience.
- Future-Proofed Platform: By upgrading to Drupal 10 and implementing modern design practices, the website is better positioned to adapt to future technological advancements and user needs.
