Carefree Crafts
Accessible Website Design | Graphic Design II
Carefree Crafts is a fictional website offering craft tutorials targeted to senior citizens. The website has four main navigation pages, taking users to specific craft categories, the currently most viewed crafts, and a page with DIY submissions made by people like them. There is also an about us page for viewers to learn more about the online brand. The website's design resembles a refreshing day in the park and exudes a pleasant feeling that entices senior citizens to the easy-to-make and fun crafts that create a tangible item to use or display at home.
The HTML- and Bootstrap-coded website is designed specifically for senior citizens who may be hard-of-seeing and not familiar with using the Internet. The site's hierarchy is very flat, and the users can find what they are looking for just by clicking on a navigation bar item. It is very easy to navigate, and uses large fonts, many images, and a difficulty rating system to make sure that seniors know everything about a craft before beginning to make it. Through the site's ease of use, the users feel confident in their ability to create something that they will bring them fulfillment.
