What We Build
Websites Built for Every Resident
Your website is the front door to your services. It needs to work for everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or high-contrast modes. We test with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and real keyboard-only navigation. We check colour contrast ratios. We write proper alt text and ARIA labels. This is what we do, and we do it properly.
WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance
Every page tested against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria. Screen reader compatible, keyboard navigable, sufficient colour contrast, resizable text, and clear focus indicators. We don't just aim for compliance. We test until it's right.
GDS Design Patterns
We follow Government Digital Service design principles. Familiar patterns that residents recognise from GOV.UK. Clear, consistent, and designed around user needs, not organisational structures.
Citizen Portals
Self-service portals where residents can report issues, track applications, manage their council tax, and access services 24/7. Designed to reduce call centre demand and improve resident satisfaction.
Service Directories
Searchable, filterable directories for local services, from social care providers to community groups. Structured data ensures they appear in Google results when residents search.
Planning Portals
Interactive planning application portals with map views, document uploads, and public consultation features. Making the planning process transparent and accessible to all residents.
Responsive & Fast
Mobile-first design that works on every device. Optimised for speed because many residents access services on mobile data. Core Web Vitals that meet Google's standards.
Our Capability
Built for Public Sector Standards
Our team brings enterprise-grade web development experience from brands like MoneySupermarket and Thomas Cook. We understand that a public sector website isn't a marketing brochure. It's a critical piece of service infrastructure that every resident depends on.
We understand accessibility requirements inside out. WCAG 2.1 AA isn't a box to tick. It's a legal obligation and a moral one. We test with screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), keyboard-only navigation, colour contrast tools, and real users with accessibility needs. We know the difference between technical compliance and genuine usability.
We understand procurement frameworks, approval cycles, and sign-off processes. We support you with project governance: stakeholder reporting, risk registers, RAG status updates, and steering group presentations. We provide the documentation your organisation needs, including business cases, options appraisals, and post-implementation reviews. We work within your budget frameworks, whether that's capital vs revenue or financial year timelines.

Security & Compliance
Secure & Compliant by Design
Public sector websites handle sensitive resident data. Security isn't an afterthought. It's built into every decision we make, from hosting to code to deployment.
We build to Cyber Essentials standards. Penetration testing, secure hosting, regular vulnerability assessments, and documented security practices.
Data protection built in from the start. Privacy by design, cookie consent, data processing agreements, and clear privacy notices that residents can actually understand.
Every site goes through penetration testing before launch. We fix vulnerabilities, not just document them. Your IT security team gets the reports they need.
Your data stays in the UK. Secure, redundant hosting with 99.9% uptime SLAs, automated backups, and disaster recovery plans that meet your organisation's requirements.
