It's light, uncluttered and very clean looking. For the individual who has learning disabilities or issues with regard to visual organization and planning, this makes the site easier to 'understand' and further locate the information they are seeking. The print disabled benefit from the illustrations by way of context cluing. As the visually impaired and blind have better access by way of alt tags and descriptive pages such as these, other disabilities such as brain injury and those mentioned above, need various other curb cuts such as more visual cueing, to fully access the informational content. The site utilizes mostly prime colors and 'looks' rather young, reflecting the audience of K-12 education in it's appeal.
Icons are for the most part content related in the areas of science, technology and math.
This reinforces the content, is attractive yet not distracting. For added flair, on certain pages, I have morphed the photo to make the colors swirl enough for the content to be recognized, yet fascinating to look at. This type illustration of content is reinforcement and a cue when repeated in a series of pages. A mouse looking very scared upon realizing he must read a technical oriented page, becomes morphed around the face showing FEAR and runs off the page, leaving dust in his path. Humor is effective when dealing with materials that can be intimidating to the print disabled, especially the dyslexic population.
