For the municipality of Velsen, we have developed the Sluis 751 website. The goal was to create a social and inclusive platform that is accessible to all users. We've focused on usability, local photography, and the power of Webflow for easy management and fast performance.
Naar de online website
Sluis 751 is not just a website; it is a website that brings the Velsen community together. The municipality wanted an online environment that is not only informative, but also accessible and inviting for all residents. The emphasis was on creating a social character, where inclusiveness and accessibility are key.
To achieve this, we made sure that the website complies with the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) guidelines. This means that the site is accessible to people with various disabilities, such as visually impaired people or people with physical disabilities. Elements such as easy-to-read font sizes, adequate color contrast, and keyboard navigation are all crucial in this design. This allows all visitors, regardless of their situation, to easily use the site.
An important part of the design is the use of local photography. Instead of stock photos, which often feel generic and impersonal, we chose to use images that were actually taken in Sluis 751. This strengthens the relationship between the website and the local community, and gives the site an authentic look. Each photo tells a story and contributes to a sense of belonging.
Inclusive website for the municipality of Velsen with Webflow To make managing the website as easy as possible, we have chosen Webflow as content management system (CMS). This offers the municipality of Velsen the flexibility to easily manage and maintain the site without technical knowledge. From adding new content to editing pages, everything can be done quickly and intuitively.
In addition, Webflow ensures a fast and smooth website. Good performance is essential for an optimal user experience and also helps to improve search engine visibility. A fast website ensures that visitors do not drop out and that they interact with the municipality in an efficient way.
The Sluis 751 website is a powerful example of how design and technology come together to create a social and inclusive platform. With a focus on accessibility, local photography and a user-friendly CMS, this website offers the municipality of Velsen a valuable online platform that strengthens the connection with its community.
Of course, we are always open to discussions about the best approach. It might be wise to have a conversation with Frank first to determine exactly what your organization needs.
