CAST, Inc. has spent decades pioneering inclusive education through its Universal Design for Learning framework, but the organization’s own website had become a barrier to the very resources it built to help people learn.
Mindgrub rebuilt CAST’s digital presence from the ground up, applying CAST’s own principles to create a WordPress platform that is genuinely accessible to educators, parents and adult learners alike. The site is WCAG 2.1 AA compliant, with intuitive navigation, 31 pages of plain-language content, and a component-based system CAST’s own team can manage without outside help.
Downloads and clicks rose 62.3%, contact queries dropped 29.1%, and readability scores improved 10.1%.
