The Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians (AEBC) came to OpenConcept to harness our expertise, in developing a Drupal content management system to replace their existing website. Their previous website was difficult to navigate, search and most importantly difficult to maintain. OpenConcept's proposed solution included the design of an accessible, custom theme that would improve the experience of AEBC's user base. In addition to ensuring that the theme successfully validated in W3C's markup validation service and providing the option to increase text size, OpenConcept developed an alternate 'high contrast' theme to offer even more flexibility to the website's visitors.
In addition to accessibility enhancements, OpenConcept developed a custom membership system for AEBC that was built using a core set of Drupal contributed modules. This membership system not only gives AEBC a simple and comprehensive way to manage their subscriptions but also a way to offer and track online dontations.
The Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians is a national chartiable organization, dedicated to promoting the increased inclusion of blind, deaf-blind and partially sighted Canadians in all aspects of social life, from employment to participation in elections. Our members, comprised of blind, deaf-blind and partially sighted consumers and supporters from across the country, participate in working groups and committees, engage with local, city-based chapters, and engage in pubilc awareness and education activities on a daily basis.
