01 / Why we exist

Public services, built to last.

We build websites and systems for governments, learning institutions, and nonprofits — work that has to serve real people, meet real standards, and stay maintainable long after launch.

  • Standards-aware

    Security, FOIPPA-aligned privacy, and the standards Canadian governments and institutions require.

  • Maintainable for your team

    Supported technology, clear documentation, and hands-on training give your editors control of the service after launch.

  • Shipped and supported

    From discovery through launch to post-launch operations, with clear handover so your team can run the service.

02 / Services

What we do.

  • Custom software & platforms

    Web apps, internal tools, and public services, designed and operated end-to-end.

  • Web & CMS

    WordPress and Drupal: public sites, intranets, migrations, custom themes, managed support.

  • Accessibility

    WCAG 2.2 AA / EN 301 549 audits, remediation, and accessible-by-default builds with documented accessibility conformance reporting.

  • Data, analytics & ML

    Pipelines, dashboards, APIs, and applied machine learning that connect systems and surface the right data.

  • Cloud, DevOps & CI/CD

    AWS architecture, reproducible pipelines, zero-downtime deploys.

  • Security & compliance

    FOIPPA-aligned privacy, PCI, and secure-by-design delivery to Canadian public-sector standards.

04 / Approach

How we work.

  1. Discover — requirements, constraints, success metrics.
  2. Design — UX, architecture, accessibility baseline.
  3. Build — iterative, a working demo at every gate.
  4. Ship — launch, handover, docs, support window.
  5. Operate — reliability, performance, evolution.
