Deafness Forum Australia
A clear, accessible home online for the national peak body representing Australians who are deaf or have hearing loss.
A lot to say, easy to find.
As a national peak body, Deafness Forum Australia speaks for a broad community and carries a lot of information – advocacy, resources, campaigns and support – that people need to reach quickly and confidently.
The challenge with a site like this is volume. There’s plenty to house, so it has to be organised sensibly, genuinely accessible for the people it serves, and quick to load on any device. The goal was a site that never makes visitors work to find what they came for.
- Content-heavy by natureLots of resources and information to organise clearly.
- Accessibility firstReadable and usable for a community it directly serves.
- Easy to navigatePeople should reach what they need without hunting.
- Fast on any deviceQuick to load whether on desktop or phone.
Clear, accessible and quick.
The fundamentals done properly – so a big, content-rich site stays easy to use and easy to keep current.

Built for accessibility
Readable type, sound contrast and screen-reader-friendly markup, designed so the site works for the community it serves.
Fast, hand-coded performance
Lean, hand-built pages that load quickly and stay responsive, even as the site carries a lot of content.
Mobile-first
Laid out to work well on phones and tablets first, so it reads and behaves properly on whatever people are using.

Clean, well-structured pages with sensible SEO basics, so the organisation’s work is easier to find.
Easy to keep current
Set up so content can be updated as campaigns and resources change, without the site getting in the way.
