Service

Web Development

We build public websites and web applications that load quickly, work for every visitor including those using assistive technology, and can be maintained by the staff who own them.

In this service

  • Public websites
  • Web applications and portals
  • Section 508 / WCAG 2.2 AA
  • Content management
  • Performance engineering
  • Website migration

Overview

Where this actually helps.

A public website is often the first and only contact a citizen or customer has with an organization. When it is slow, confusing or inaccessible, the cost lands on phone lines, front desks and the people who could not get what they came for.

We treat accessibility and performance as acceptance criteria rather than a post-launch audit. Section 508 and WCAG 2.2 AA are the working target; pages are measured against a performance budget on mid-range phones and poor connections, not on a developer laptop.

Every site we hand over can be updated by the people responsible for its content, with a publishing workflow that matches how they actually approve changes.

What this covers

Capabilities.

An engagement is scoped from these. Nothing here is a package: the combination depends on what you already have.

Public websites

Information-heavy sites organized around what visitors are trying to do, with search, clear navigation and plain-language content structure.

Web applications and portals

Online forms, applications, account areas and self-service portals that replace paper and phone processes with something trackable.

Accessibility

Semantic markup, keyboard operation, screen reader testing and color contrast built in from the start. Conformance documented, not assumed.

Content management

A content system sized to your team, with roles, review steps and revision history, so publishing does not depend on a developer.

Performance engineering

Measured page weight, server rendering, image handling and caching so pages stay fast for visitors on any device or network.

Website migration

Moving from an aging platform without losing content, search rankings or inbound links. Redirects mapped, tested and kept.

How we work

How an engagement runs.

Four stages, in this order, on every project. The detail changes; the sequence does not.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Audience, top tasks, existing content and constraints. We read the analytics and the support inbox before we draw a single page.

  2. 02

    Structure

    Information architecture, content model and page templates agreed in writing, with accessibility requirements attached to each.

  3. 03

    Build

    Templates and components implemented against real content, reviewed on real devices and with assistive technology as they are built.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Redirects, monitoring, analytics and an editor walkthrough. Launch is a rehearsed procedure, not an event.

Technical scope

What we work with.

Established tools chosen because they fit the problem and can be maintained, not because they are new.
