The Challenge
After a decade of steady performance, the Clerk of Court website needed an update to meet modern standards for accessibility, mobile usability, and content management. The goal wasn’t to fix a failing system — it was to future-proof an already reliable platform and keep it aligned with the needs of Wayne County’s citizens.
Key areas of focus:
- Improving readability across devices
- Streamlining navigation to help citizens find key information faster
- Maintaining the familiar structure trusted by residents
