Recently updated on January 9th, 2025

Lightning-fast, mobile-first, and meets the latest accessibility standards. 

Arlo makes it easy to create best-in-class websites that provide a seamless customer experience that helps you sell more training. 

The launch of our all-new and fully accessible Arlo for WordPress plugin, plus a complete rebuild of our Webcontrols technology is almost here. The new design is modern, flexible, and incredibly fast!

Latest accessibility standards built-in

The clock is ticking. Legislation requires all websites operating in the EU region to be compliant with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) by 28 June 2025 under law. We’re also seeing an increase in North American agencies introducing this as a requirement.

Accessibility isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a must. We’re proud to announce that all of our new website solutions are WCAG-compliant and meet the latest legislation. 

We’ve done this by;

  • Simplifying our navigation menus so that they’re consistent and easy to explore, whether you’re using a screen reader or just your keyboard. 
  • Added descriptive alt text to non-decorative images, icons, and multimedia content, so users who rely on assistive technologies can access the information they need without any hassle.
  • Applied default color schemes and contrast to make sure that everything on the site is clear and easy to read, especially for those with visual impairments. 
  • And no matter what device you’re using our website will be fully responsive and accessible, ensuring a seamless experience for everyone.

At Arlo, we’re committed to accessibility. Learn more about what we’re doing by visiting our accessibility statement.

Modern, responsive design

We know how vital a professional website experience is to your training business. With an all new responsive design, your customers can now find courses they’re interested in faster on any device.

We’ve rehauled the user-experience across all pages, course details, filters, tags, search widgets and more using best-practice methods, research, and customer feedback.

  • Filters and tags applied to the page now cleverly adapt to the design, saving you valuable time in getting the perfect layout that provides a best-in-class experience for you and your customers.
  • Fully responsive pages and elements will fit to any screen size for the best possible viewing experience – regardless of device.
  • The modular design makes it easier than ever to display course information exactly how you’d like, with the ability to pick, choose and customize page elements.
  • Buttons are bolder, the font is clearer on the page and the layout is crafted to provide all the relevant information to your visitors right out of the box.

Lightning fast! 

Not only does it look amazing, but the new Arlo website experience is modern and shiny under the hood, too. 

We’ve rebuilt the code, optimizing it for speed and ease. With average load times reduced by 60%, both Arlo for WordPress and Webcontrols now have an average speed index of just 1 second! 

Not only fast as a flash, the design is well structured with a straight-forward layout of code. Simply put –  tech teams and web designers can find what they need, customize on the fly, and maintain their own designs faster. 

Improvements to how the Arlo integration technology runs also improves your search rankings. With a faster, more performant website that provides the best experience across all devices, your website will outrank those that don’t have the same gusto.
