Bilingual website design for a research project
This bilingual website launches Reporting in Black Communities, a research project to create Canada’s first guide with views from Black news consumers, Black journalists and non-Black journalists and leaders. The one-page website design uses anchor links to seamlessly connect English and French sections, supporting accessibility and ease of navigation.
Accessibility was a key focus throughout the design process. The layout and contrast choices prioritize readability. Drawing on my ongoing collaboration with co-researcher Nana aba Duncan and fresh insights from lead researcher Eternity Martis, the goal was to deliver a user experience that is as impactful as the content it supports.
A Vibrant, Thoughtfully Crafted Palette
The colour scheme, a vibrant blend of lilac, purple, and yellow, was inspired by the vision of lead researcher Eternity Martis and co-researcher Nana aba Duncan. Together, we crafted a visually engaging palette that supports the project’s vision. Typography was carefully selected, pairing the clean, modern lines of Mulish with the structured, monospaced design of Fira Code to add contrast and clarity to the informational layout.
