Government & federal
Public-sector work, built to the standards it will be judged against
Government buyers verify before they call, and the site is where they start. Ours are built so the facts sit where they get looked for — and so the accessibility and security questions arrive already answered.
The standards are already written. The site should meet them on purpose.
Three frameworks shape public-sector work, and all three cost far less to build in than to retrofit later. We treat them as part of the spec from the first day, not as a remediation project after someone complains.
What we build for this sector
Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, built in
Section 508 is the federal accessibility law for digital content, and it points at WCAG — the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We build to both: semantic structure, keyboard operation, contrast, focus order, and screen-reader labeling done as we build and verified before launch, not bolted on afterward. We publish an accessibility statement so your position is documented rather than assumed.
ADA Title II readiness for public entities
ADA Title II reaches the web content and mobile apps of state and local government entities. The Department of Justice rule names WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the technical standard those entities have to meet. We audit against that bar, fix what fails, and hand you the record showing what was tested and when. Confirm your own dates and obligations with counsel — we build to the standard, we do not advise on the law.
SOC 2 readiness and security questionnaires
SOC 2 is the security reporting framework primes and agencies lean on to check how a vendor handles data. When one of them asks how the site is hosted, secured, and monitored, the answers already exist in writing — we prepare the evidence a SOC 2 review expects on the web and infrastructure side. The attestation itself is issued by an independent CPA firm, never by us.
Your capability statement, on the web
The one-page document your buyers already know, rebuilt as a page they can scan and a PDF they can forward — core competencies, differentiators, past performance, and points of contact in the order a contracting officer reads them.
Codes, registrations, vehicles, and teaming
Your NAICS and PSC codes — the industry and product-service codes buyers search by — plus your UEI (Unique Entity ID) and CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) numbers, your status in SAM.gov (the federal System for Award Management vendor registry), set-aside designations, the vehicles you can be ordered from, and how you team, all in one scannable, linkable block. You supply the values; we make them findable and easy to keep current. We never research or assert them for you.
A build that behaves on a government network
Self-hosted fonts and assets, minimal third-party scripts, no tracking you have not asked for, HTTPS and security headers throughout. Locked-down agency browsers and content filters block much of what a typical marketing site loads, so we leave it out by default.
How a public-sector engagement runs
- 1
Positioning
Who you are actually selling to — agencies, primes, the public, or all three — and what a first-time visitor has to be able to confirm before they will pick up the phone.
- 2
Compliance plan
We agree the accessibility target and the security posture in writing up front, so which standard applies is settled at the start instead of argued about at launch.
- 3
Design and build
Real pages with your real language in them, then developed, wired up, and kept light enough to load on a constrained connection.
- 4
Verify and document
Automated checks plus a manual keyboard and screen-reader pass, documented so you have a dated record to hand over when someone asks for one.
- 5
Launch and keep current
We handle the cutover, then keep awards, vehicles, and registrations current — stale details cost credibility fast in this sector.
Services this sector usually starts with
A good fit if
- You are a city, county, or special district facing the Title II deadline
- You hold a set-aside designation and want it easy to verify
- Primes and agencies find you by NAICS code
- A security questionnaire is holding up a deal
- Your buyers are contracting officers, not consumers
