The Center for Workplace Mental Health, a division of the American Psychiatric Association, supports the mental well-being of employees and their families by providing employers with the necessary tools, resources, and information. The APA is a global leader in psychiatry, with over 38,500 members across more than 100 countries.

Project Scope
The Center needed a modern, fully accessible website to better connect with employers and promote its initiatives. The site had to meet ADA and WCAG 2.1 standards, provide a seamless user experience, and scale with future growth.

The Solution
We redesigned the site on the Kentico Xperience platform, delivering a clean, responsive, and intuitive user experience. The new site architecture makes content easy to find, while Kentico's robust CMS ensures effortless content management and ongoing scalability.
To guarantee accessibility, we partnered with a third-party expert for live user testing with individuals with disabilities, incorporating real-world feedback into every layer of design and functionality.
Project Highlights
Accessibility First
Full compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA, ADA, and Section 508 standards, including high contrast mode, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.
Smart Content Management
Built-in validation tools for HTML, CSS, and accessibility ensure all content meets standards before publishing.
Separation of Style & Structure
Clean, modular code makes future design updates easy and accessible.
Secure & Scalable
Future-ready architecture with built-in SEO and robust security.
User-Friendly Editor
An advanced WYSIWYG editor (CKEditor) supports accessible content creation with WAI-ARIA support.
The Result
The team at the APA now has a vibrant, secure, and fully accessible platform that reflects its mission and empowers users of all abilities. The site supports both current needs and future expansion, making it a long-term hub for mental health advocacy in the workplace.
"This project was a valuable learning experience for our team. The hands-on, real-time, and user-focused testing approach enabled us to create a solution that not only meets essential accessibility standards but also incorporates insights from individuals who navigate the world with disabilities every day."
