EDD is a fictional energy provider in Portugal.

Our team was in charge of upgrading their Accessibility score on Access Monitor from an average of 7.3 to “at least 8.0”, by focusing on Color Contrast and Skip to Content.

In a span of little over 3 months, we:

• Downgraded the number of Color Themes available for all modules from 25 to 8;

• Implemented Skip to Content on each page and reworked all 150+ components;

• Through all the learning in the process, we went beyond the briefing and also defined Focus states for all interactive elements and defined Reading Order on all modules;

• We also reworked all form fields by designing better borders, moving all labels and placeholder texts outside of the field and adding icons to Info/Error messages;

• We still redesigned all interactive elements to increase their target area to at least 44px;

• The sliders have now a stop indicator.

Their score on Access Monitor was raised to an average of 8.7, hindered by a few third-party applications that were on the client side and out of our control.
