THE CHALLENGE

Making Disability-Focused Services Easier to Discover

Accessible Connections needed a digital platform where people could discover businesses and services relevant to accessibility and disability needs, while giving businesses a dedicated place to showcase what they offer.

The platform needed to go beyond simple listings. Users needed to search and save relevant businesses, communicate privately, and explore categorized services, while businesses needed options for premium visibility and subscription-based listings.

OUR APPROACH

Building a More Connected Accessibility Business Directory

We have built AccessibleConnections.com from the ground up with Drupal 10, creating a structured platform for business discovery, communication, and premium listings.

The implementation connected the Drupal business directory with the existing WordPress landing page, while custom modules handled business imports, private messaging, search optimization, subscriptions, categorization, and favorites.
