The Property Website Approach
SDA websites must function more like real estate platforms than service provider sites. Coordinators and families are evaluating specific properties, not just your organisation. They need detailed information about each accommodation option: location, design category, accessibility features, support arrangements, and availability.
We structure SDA websites around individual property pages. Each accommodation has its own dedicated section with comprehensive information, photo galleries, virtual tours, and floor plans. This property-centric approach matches how decision-makers actually research SDA options.
Design Category Navigation
Participants have specific design categories funded in their plans. A visitor seeking High Physical Support accommodation needs to find those properties quickly without sifting through options that do not match their eligibility. We implement filtering systems that allow visitors to navigate by design category, location, and other key criteria.
This functionality serves dual purposes. Qualified leads find relevant properties faster. Ineligible visitors self-select out before enquiring, improving the quality of leads your team receives.
Comprehensive Property Information
SDA decisions involve many specific questions. Is the bathroom accessible for complex mobility needs? What communal spaces are available? What support is provided and by whom? Are there other tenants? We develop property pages that anticipate and answer these questions.
Floor plans show spatial layouts. Photo galleries showcase key features. Specification lists detail accessibility elements. This comprehensive information helps decision-makers assess suitability before picking up the phone.
WCAG Compliance as a Baseline
SDA websites serve audiences that often include people with disabilities. Web accessibility is not optional. We build to WCAG AA standards as a baseline, ensuring your website is usable for visitors with vision, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments.
This commitment to accessibility also signals your values to decision-makers. A provider who cannot make their website accessible raises questions about their accommodation design priorities.
