Case Study: WEA improves learner experience and accessibility with Versantus Drupal website development

WEA improves accessibility to AA and boosts enrollments with Versantus

WEA, an adult education charity, faced the challenge of an outdated and user-unfriendly website that was not integrated with its core SRS platform, creating a poor experience for learners. They engaged the vendor Versantus to develop a new website that would provide a seamless user experience for course search, booking, and payment, while also meeting strict accessibility goals and integrating with their back-end systems.

Versantus implemented an agile methodology to manage the project, breaking it into Discovery, Design, and Build & Launch phases. This collaborative approach allowed for continuous feedback and adaptation. The resulting Drupal-based solution, hosted on Acquia's cloud infrastructure, provided a fully integrated and accessible site. The results for WEA included increased course enrolments and memberships, achieving AA accessibility standards, improved SEO traffic, and reduced long-term website costs.
