The brief
A club about neurodiversity cannot ship a website that only works for one kind of reader. Accessibility had to be a visible feature rather than a compliance checkbox buried in the markup.
What I built
A settings panel that lets any visitor switch between light and dark, scale the text in three steps, and swap the type for an easy reading font, with the choice remembered on return.
A shared design system so every page uses the same tokens, and full German and English content throughout.
The visual language of this site comes from that project, carried over and rebuilt as plain static pages.
What I took from it
Designing for a range of readers made the site better for all of them. The type scale, the contrast and the line length all improved once one group's needs were treated as the baseline rather than an option.
