State agency website development
Project for:
Texas Education Agency
We were part of a state agency website development project which created an accessible and multi-lingual site for Texas parents to understand their children’s STAAR exam results.
Expertise
Our team provided website development as a sub-vendor for this project.
Client
Our client was the Texas Education Agency. We worked with our advertising agency partner who was contracted with TEA to design the Texas Assessment website for parents.
Timeline
This was a long-term project, with initial build and enhancements over five years.
Challenge
Help parents find and interpret testing results
The Texas Education Agency’s texasassessment.gov is an educational website to inform Texas parents, teachers, and administrators about the state’s STAAR test and how student scores are interpreted.
They needed an online place for families, administrators and educators to find and access information about the annual assessment exams. The existing website for the TEA was extremely complex and it was difficult for these groups to find what they needed.
Solution
State agency website development for STAAR test
We joined this project as a sub vendor for an Austin advertising firm that specializes in branding and technology projects for the State of Texas and higher education.
The agency designed each page of the site, and then Standard Beagle coded and implemented the design using Jekyll markdown language, CSS, and JavaScript.
Impact
Users learned how to interpret their scores and how to improve them
Multi-lingual website
The website was fully translated to Spanish and nine other common languages spoken in Texas so it was accessible to most parents.
Built to meet accessibility requirements
Texas state agencies are required to meet strict accessibility guidelines, so the website was built and tested for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance.
