Clear, credible and accessible design for government websites.
For public sector organisations, design is about more than aesthetics. It is about clarity, accessibility and credibility. Citizens need to be able to trust what they see, find what they need quickly, and know that services are available to everyone.
At Border Street, we specialise in visual design for high-trust environments, where accessibility and compliance matter as much as creativity.
Design failures are one of the most common causes of accessibility issues. That is why every design decision we make aligns with:
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards
NZ Government Web Accessibility and Usability Standards
Best practice readability and inclusive design principles
From colour contrast to typography, from layout to navigation, we ensure your design is not just attractive but usable and inclusive for every New Zealander.
Visual design for the public sector is unique. It must balance:
Our work is tailored to these needs, ensuring that your website looks modern, functions clearly, and stands up to the scrutiny of auditors, stakeholders, and citizens.
We do not treat design as a separate phase or an afterthought. At Border Street:
