App Development in Washington, DC
Mobile App Development For Washington, DC
DC's associations, non-profits and government contractors need apps that are accessible, secure and easy to justify to a board. That's how we approach the work.
Accessible, Secure Apps For Mission-Driven Teams
- Designed to WCAG guidelines
- Secure data handling
- Clear documentation
- Member and event features
Washington has an unusual mix of organisations: trade associations, non-profits, think tanks and the contractors that support federal agencies. What they often share is a need for clear accountability, strong accessibility and careful handling of member or citizen data.
We design to WCAG accessibility guidelines and build with security in mind from the outset, and we document decisions clearly so that the app can stand up to review. We work with DC teams remotely, with good overlap in working hours.
