Case Study: Government of Ontario achieves an accessible, high-performance multilingual website with Parachute Design

Government of Ontario launches an accessible multilingual WordPress site with Parachute Design

The Government of Ontario required a website redesign for its Environment and Land Tribunals Ontario (ELTO) agency that emphasized strict AODA accessibility compliance, multi-language support in English and French, and high performance for users in low-bandwidth areas. They partnered with the vendor Parachute Design for a comprehensive solution involving custom WordPress development, UX design, and responsive web design to modernize their high-traffic public site.

Parachute Design implemented a custom WordPress multisite to manage both languages efficiently, developed a responsive and accessible design with improved navigation and performance, and ensured strict WCAG 2.0 AA compliance. The solution surpassed speed requirements and improved the user experience. Following the successful deployment, the client, ELTO, also engaged Parachute for ongoing hosting and management, with the vendor's Manager of Communications highly recommending their services.
