Build standards
Fast, accessible and secure — by default.
These are the standards we design and test every build against. They are targets we hold ourselves to on your project, not scores borrowed from someone else's site.
Core Web Vitals
The speed targets we build to
Largest Contentful Paint
< 2.5s
Mobile, throttled connection. The main content is visible fast.
Interaction to Next Paint
< 200ms
Taps and clicks respond immediately, not after a delay.
Cumulative Layout Shift
< 0.1
Nothing jumps around while the page loads.
Real-world results depend on your content, images and third-party scripts. Where a target cannot be met, we tell you why and what it would take.
Accessibility & security
What ships with every project
Accessibility
- WCAG 2.1 AA contrast on text and interactive elements
- Full keyboard navigation with visible focus states
- Semantic headings and landmarks for screen readers
- Labelled form fields with clear error messaging
- Tap targets sized for real thumbs on mobile
- Alt text on every meaningful image
Security
- SSL on every domain, enforced HTTPS
- Hardened hosting with automated patching
- Automated backups with restore testing
- Role-based access control on every portal
- Audit logging on sensitive actions
- Secrets stored server-side, never in the browser
How we verify
Testing is part of the process
During the build
Lighthouse and automated accessibility checks run against key pages before each milestone approval.
Before launch
A full pass on mobile and desktop: performance, contrast, keyboard navigation, forms, SEO metadata and structured data.
After launch
On a care plan we monitor uptime and page speed, and re-test after content or feature changes.
