Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Judicial Council seeks a qualified vendor with professional design skills to design and deliver a visual design system and pattern library that is fast, accessible, mobile-friendly, and backed by user research. The goals are to improve the usability, meet accessibility compliance standards (ADA, Section 508, WCAG 2.0), strengthen the “brand” identity of the Judicial branch, and re-envision our online interactions to enhance digital services through visual and interaction design. The vendor will deliver solutions to enhance our Web properties to improve access to justice, support self-represented litigants, and provide models for outstanding online user experience that can be leveraged and shared across the Judicial Branch. The designs will need to clearly represent the official nature of the site and the authority of the courts while offering a respectful, inclusive, and welcoming experience to any California resident. They will need to be highly performant, working equally well on small smartphones with restricted data plans and high-resolution desktop screens. We are interested in all approaches to addressing these needs, but will look for very strong justification for any proposals relying heavily on imagery (as opposed to color, typography, information architecture) to convey these values.
