include everyone.
We take the DDA* very seriously, and always design inclusively. In fact, we think we are one of the few urban realm consultancies that employ access consultants on virtually every project.
JBC-London has a team of less able-bodied testers who put our design solutions through their paces at an early stage. They’ll rate a range of concepts for inclusivity, advise on first stage mock-ups and conduct rigorous on-site tests with working prototypes. They also provide training on designing inclusively for new fwdesign staff.
We also employ the services of other specialist consultants – all experts in their own fields – to add a specific perspective on topics like dementia or colour. We add these individuals to the team as and when we feel it will add value to a project. They usually input at an early conceptual stage, assist us in key design decisions and undertake usability tests on prototypes.
We believe this proactive and holistic approach to inclusivity sets fwdesign apart. Why not judge for yourself?
