Public Sector
Government & Non-Profits
Public and nonprofit sites need to make programs, eligibility, events, and action steps easy to find.
What matters here
- Accessible navigation
- Program pages
- Event and sponsorship flows
- Clear public information
How we shape the page
Industry-specific without turning every page into a different brand.
The structure stays consistent for usability and SEO. The imagery, proof points, icon language, service emphasis, and calls to action shift based on what visitors in this industry need to know before they reach out.

What we plan for
What matters in government & non-profits projects.
Accessibility is the baseline, not the stretch goal
Public-sector and publicly funded websites face real accessibility obligations under the ADA and Section 508, and their audiences genuinely include users of screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive devices. We build to WCAG-informed standards from the first wireframe and offer accessibility assessments for existing public and nonprofit sites — including honest guidance on why overlay widgets do not make a site compliant.
Plain language is a design feature
Program pages fail when they are written for the organization instead of the resident: eligibility buried in paragraphs, next steps unclear, jargon everywhere. We structure program and service pages around the visitor's questions — what is this, do I qualify, what do I do next — which serves both the public and search visibility.
Events, sponsorships, and public information that stay current
Civic organizations run on events, meetings, programs, and announcements, which means the site must be easy for staff to update without a developer. Our public-sector work includes the Lauderhill CRA and organizations like the Florida Business Council and Baseball Boosters International.
Government & Non-Profits FAQ
Common questions before starting.
Do government and nonprofit websites have to be ADA accessible?
Government websites have explicit legal obligations, and nonprofits — especially publicly funded ones — face both legal exposure and a mission-level duty to serve everyone. Building to WCAG standards addresses both.
Do accessibility overlay widgets make a public website compliant?
No. Overlays bolt a settings toolbar on top of the site without fixing the underlying code, and sites using them still receive demand letters. Real compliance comes from accessible structure, markup, and testing.
Can our staff update the site without a developer?
Yes. We plan editable content structures so program pages, events, and announcements can be maintained by staff, with governance appropriate to a public organization.
Have you worked with public agencies before?
Yes. Our work includes the Lauderhill Community Redevelopment Agency, along with nonprofit and civic organizations such as the Florida Business Council and the International Society of Autism.
How long does a public-sector website project take?
Focused sites take roughly four to eight weeks, but public projects often run longer because stakeholder review and approval cycles are part of the process. We plan the schedule around those realities up front.
