Website Design, UX & Accessibility

Simple, friendly, effective websites for your community

We help local businesses and organizations create websites that are easy to use and welcoming to everyone. We focus on making your online presence work hard for you—connecting you with people and making sure everyone can find what they need.

How we can help your website

Understanding what your visitors really need

We talk to real people in your community to discover what they're looking for when they visit websites like yours. This approach helps you connect better with local folks through a website that actually makes sense to them.

Making your website easy to navigate

Ever been on a website where you couldn't find what you needed? We will help you organize your information so visitors can find exactly what they're looking for without frustration—turning browsers into customers and supporters.

Mapping your customer, client, or user's journey

We look at every step someone takes when interacting with your business online. This helps us spot places where people might get stuck or confused, and fix them to create smoother experiences.

Testing ideas before building

We create simple mockups of your website that you can see and click through before spending money on full development. This saves time, reduces costs, and makes sure you get exactly what you want.

Making your website look and work great

Consistent, professional appearance

We create a cohesive look that strengthens your identity across your entire website. This consistency builds trust with visitors and makes your organization look more professional.

Works great on phones, tablets and computers

Many people primarily use their phones to browse the internet. We make sure your website looks and works perfectly whether someone's on a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Small touches that make a big difference

We add thoughtful details like helpful animations and smooth transitions that guide visitors and make your website feel more engaging and professional.

Bringing designs to life

We work closely with website builders (or we can build it for you!) to make sure what you see in the design is exactly what you get when your site goes live—no unpleasant surprises.

Making your website work for everyone

Meeting accessibility requirements

We help your organization welcome everyone by making your website usable by people with disabilities. This not only opens your doors to more customers but helps you avoid potential legal issues.

Following best practices

We follow established guidelines that make websites work better for people with vision, hearing, mobility or cognitive disabilities—while still keeping your site visually appealing.

Do you need an Accessibility Audit?

Fixing existing website problems

Already have a website that might be difficult for some people to use? We can review it and provide a clear plan to fix any issues we find.

Truly inclusive design

We think about diverse community needs throughout the design process, creating experiences that serve everyone from seniors to young families to folks with disabilities.

Who needs accessible websites?

Making your website work for everyone isn't just good business—for many organizations, it's essential. Here are some businesses and organizations that particularly benefit from websites everyone can use:

Type of Organization Examples Why Accessibility Matters
Healthcare Providers Medical clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, therapy centers Patients with disabilities need equal access to vital health information and services
Financial Services Local banks, credit unions, insurance agencies, financial advisors Financial independence requires equal access to banking and financial tools
Government & Public Services City offices, libraries, utility companies, community centers Legal requirements and obligation to serve all citizens equally
Educational Institutions Schools, community colleges, adult education, vocational training Learning opportunities should be available to students of all abilities
Housing & Real Estate Assisted living, retirement communities, property management Housing searches must be accessible to everyone regardless of ability
Senior Healthcare Geriatric care, home healthcare, medical equipment, hearing centers Older adults often have multiple accessibility needs that must be accommodated
Senior Living Independent living communities, nursing homes, meal delivery These essential services must be findable by those who need them most
Elder Services Estate planning, Medicare specialists, senior transportation Critical services that support independence and quality of life
Recreation & Social Senior centers, travel programs, community education, faith groups Social connection is vital for well-being and requires accessible information
Specialty Retail Pharmacies with delivery, medical supplies, technology support Businesses serving seniors benefit from websites their customers can actually use

Is your organization on this list?

If so, we should talk. Your website isn't just a potential legal obligation—it's a vital connection to the people who need your services most.
