Higher-ed sites that pass procurement.

Modern Campus Omni CMS, Next.js, and accessible templates that integrate with SFMC and Slate. WCAG 2.2 AA out of the box. ADA Title II ready. VPATs and ACRs as standard deliverables. Sites your editors can maintain and your procurement office can defend.

The problem

Most agency-built higher-ed sites fail their own accessibility audit.

Templates ship at 92 Lighthouse, contrast fails on three components, the editor experience invites violations the moment the comms team takes over. The site looks good on launch day and starts drifting on day two. The pattern is template-locked, editor-trained, third-party-vetted. We build to that pattern.

How we work

A repeatable four-step methodology.

01

Discovery and IA

Site map, content inventory, integration scope (Slate forms, SFMC subscriptions, calendar, search). Audience-stage routes mapped to the funnel.

02

Template build

Component library that ships at WCAG 2.2 AA. Editor affordances that constrain by design. Modern Campus Omni CMS or custom Next.js depending on the platform decision.

03

Integration and launch

Slate forms, SFMC subscriptions, analytics, search wiring. Pre-launch axe-core + WAVE + keyboard walkthrough on the gated page set. VPAT/ACR drafted.

04

Editor training and governance

Recorded walkthroughs, written playbook, role and permission matrix. Quarterly accessibility scan held in retainer post-launch.
