Illinois Legal Aid Online Transforms User Experience with New Drupal 8 Website

Staff Reporter

Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) has successfully revamped its digital presence with a redefined user-centric approach in collaboration with technology partner QED42. The challenging task of making legal language more accessible to a diverse user base in Illinois has been addressed through the implementation of a new website built on Drupal 8, featuring clear and concise language, an intuitive user interface, and interactive elements. The project involved comprehensive research, stakeholder interviews, and a design-first approach to empathize with users and address their needs. The resulting website offers improved usability, enhanced mobile experience, and streamlined content organization under the Legal Information section.

Key enhancements include:

A user-friendly interface.
Incorporation of UX writing.
A scalable design system.
SOLR search functionality for efficient information retrieval.
A Toolbox feature for simplifying the legal process.
Improved SEO capabilities.

Furthermore, the migration from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 has significantly enhanced the website’s performance, security, and speed, ultimately providing 24/7 access to legal information and resources for the people of Illinois.
