Web technologies for the good guys.

Accessibility

We develop accessible websites as a rule. This means that your website will work on a visually impaired donor's screenreader and also on a constituent's smartphone. This also means that your nonprofit's website design will be implemented using validated, standards-compliant code, and will be exhaustively tested in all modern browsers on Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux. We tend to avoid flashy, gimmicky, or distracting animation in favor of clean, elegant, and usable design.

Accessibility is becoming an increasing concern in modern website design. Many nonprofit organizations are required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (also known as the ADA), and many more choose to do so to better serve special needs constituents and donors. Did you know that the ADA applies to your website, too?

The good news here is that accessibility usually costs you nothing. We prefer doing things right the first time, and accessibility is simply something that an ethical web designer does by default. Unless you need specific functionality (for example, for mobile devices) that will require additional work, your design's accessible implementation is included in all of our project estimates.
