Working within the framework of the existing site, the digital team audited functionality and identified necessary changes to the user interface, colours, design, booking flows, forms, images and many other sections, building a digital style guide with an accessibility-first approach. Every effort was made to make the site perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. Web accessibility is an ongoing effort at WestJet and the team continues to keep accessibility top of mind in the creation of new features and designs.
