Idaho State Legislature
The Idaho State Legislature is the lawmaking body of Idaho’s state government, consisting of the Senate and House representatives.
As the cornerstone of Idaho’s legislative process, the Idaho State Legislature plays a vital role in shaping state law and policy. Made Right Media was commissioned to revamp their public-facing website, ensure compliance with ADA accessibility standards, and integrate seamlessly with their custom, in-house software systems. Our challenge was to create a more user-friendly and transparent platform that serves citizens, lawmakers, and staff alike, supporting the legislature’s commitment to open government and civic engagement and making the website navigation much easier.

Web Design
Our approach to redesigning the Idaho State Legislature’s website centered on structure, usability, and clarity. We streamlined the site architecture to make it easier for users to access bills, committee agendas, and legislative calendars. The design system we created offers a clean and consistent user experience while allowing their internal team the flexibility to update content as needed. Built to support a high volume of information and traffic, the new website reinforces the credibility and transparency expected from a legislative body.
ADA Accessibility
Ensuring full compliance with ADA standards was a critical part of this project. From keyboard-friendly navigation to proper color contrast and screen reader compatibility, we implemented inclusive design features across the entire site. These enhancements help ensure that all users, regardless of ability, can access legislative materials and participate in the democratic process without barriers.
Consulting
Beyond the technical work, our consulting role helped guide content restructuring and digital strategy across departments. We collaborated closely with their internal team to identify user pain points, simplify content delivery, and align the site’s organization with the workflow of legislative sessions. Our guidance helped set a long-term foundation for the website to grow alongside the evolving needs of Idaho’s government and its citizens.
