Custom ADA Compliant Website for Durham’s Paratransit Service
TheeSummary
GoDurham ACCESS is the City of Durham and Durham County’s paratransit service, providing transportation for eligible residents with disabilities or mobility challenges. The program includes four distinct services: ADA Paratransit, Durham County ACCESS, GoDurham Connect, and the Senior Shuttle. Previously, all information about these services lived on a single page within the main GoDurham Transit website, making it difficult for riders and caregivers to understand which service they qualified for and how to sign up.
TheeChallenge
GoDurham ACCESS needed a dedicated website on its own domain to clearly explain four distinct transportation services, each with different eligibility requirements, service areas, and trip purposes. The existing setup, a single page on the main GoDurham Transit site, was creating confusion among riders, caregivers, and social workers trying to determine which service a person qualified for. The new site needed to make these distinctions clear, be fully accessible to users with disabilities, and support both English and Spanish speaking residents across Durham County.
Design of Custom WordPress Website
TheeDigital custom-designed websites start with a wireframe. A wireframe is a black and white sketch of the layout of the homepage that helps identify the priority and hierarchy of required elements. The project manager also develops a Creative Brief, which encompasses the needs and wants from the client and helps the team pull together a design that reflects their brand.
For GoDurham ACCESS, the wireframe focused on organizing four distinct service types into a clear, intuitive structure that guides users to the right service based on their eligibility, location, and trip purpose. Once the wireframe was approved, our design team built a fully custom WordPress site with extra attention paid to ADA compliance, bilingual support in English and Spanish, and a clean visual system that reflects the GoDurham brand.
The Results: Clarity for Riders, Confidence for the Community
TheeDigital delivered a fully custom, ADA compliant website that gives GoDurham ACCESS a dedicated digital home for its four transportation services. The site features a custom eligibility form with built in logic that guides users to the service that best fits their needs, eliminating the confusion that previously existed. With full English and Spanish translation, the site serves all Durham County residents. Dedicated pages for ADA Paratransit, Durham County ACCESS, GoDurham Connect, and the Senior Shuttle clearly explain eligibility, service areas, and how to book a ride.
