United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) is a national nonprofit serving over 200,000 individuals with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. For its 75th anniversary, UCP set out to refresh its national website — ensuring it reflected both its legacy and its commitment to accessibility.

The Challenge

To mark this milestone, UCP found a web agency to:

Refresh the brand with a timely update that met accessibility standards
Deliver an inclusive user experience for thousands of individuals and families relying on UCP resources.
Minimize expenses while delivering a modernized website
Reinforce credibility as a disability-focused nonprofit leading by example.

“Our website is more than a digital presence — it’s a lifeline for the disability community, including the families and individuals served by UCP's affiliate network. By making it accessible, we’re ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, can find the resources and support they need.”

Armando Contreras President & CEO, UCP

The solution: accessFlow

As a seasoned nonprofit partner, UCP integrated accessFlow, accessiBe’s developer-first accessibility platform, into the website build.

With accessFlow, the web agency was able to:

Audit the site with automated scanning across pages, elements, and user flows
Prioritize critical user journeys with visualization tools that made complex issues easier to understand.
Fix recurring accessibility issues using guided code examples.

During implementation, the web agency provided feedback that helped accessiBe refine features and improve accessFlow for future businesses looking to advance their accessibility.

“The interface was super clean and intuitive, and the visualization option was especially appreciated. It was a great learning process.”
