Technical strategy + execution
We sweat the details so you can smell like success
Why it's important
A clear technical strategy is essential—it guides decisions on technology, infrastructure, and development methods, ensuring smooth execution and preventing issues like poor performance or security risks.
Implementation is key
We're up on industry best practices, have decades of experience, and stay curious in order to build top-of-the-line experiences—and we can discuss it all with you clearly and jargon-free. (Or jargon-ful, if that's how you like it.)
Accessibility
We're obsessed with making web content accessible to everyone. Why wouldn't we be? Accessibility means happy users, and happy users mean good business. We start with semantic HTML and apply industry best practices and user insights until we hit the appropriate level of accessibility for your specific needs (most often, this means aligning with at least WCAG level AA standards).
Third-party integrations
It’s a rare site that doesn’t reach out in some way to share or pull information from elsewhere on the web. We’re here to help make that happen smoothly. We have significant experience incorporating Marketo, Salesforce, numerous Google APIs, and a whole host of other third party products into your site.
Cross-channel strategy
We know and love the web, but it’s not all we know. And while you may love your website, it’s likely not the only digital property your organization is concerned with. We’re experienced in helping guide your planning across those various channels, strategizing how you might build bridges between them, and happily helping to find the right vendors to implement those strategies. We aim to be your partner and see you succeed, no matter where that success happens.
Component libraries
While the sites we build can be large, we start our builds out pretty small. Buttons, headlines, form elements, lists, animations...all of these pieces (and many more) are individually crafted then pieced together to build up the larger components that make up the pages of your site. More importantly, we also show our work: all of those pieces—from the small elements to the full pages—become a living digital component library. With that library, you can see progress and process during the build, gain a holistic understanding of how your site’s visual identity comes together, and take that touchstone with you into the future.
User training
We build it, but you get to use it. Whether that’s your marketing department authoring content or taking control of user testing, or your in-house tech team taking over site maintenance, we intend to make these transitions as easy as possible. It might take the form of a formal on-site workshop, additional documentation, or an informal code walk-through, but before we hand over the keys, you’ll be at home with the tools we’ve made and feel confident with the next steps.
Site Performance
Speed matters on the web, and we do everything in our power to ensure your site performs efficiently. At the start of projects, we set performance budgets to establish a baseline of just how fast the site should be. We then aim for that mark throughout the project, utilizing all the tools at our disposal to do so as well as making smart, informed decisions along the way.
