Doing things right
Everything we design and build will always work, even as technologies inevitably change. Everyone on the internet will always be able to find, access, and use our websites.
This isn’t a pledge or a promise. It’s just the way we work: we follow web standards and believe in progressive enhancement. We create a solid foundation and then enhance the experience. Keeping code clean and simple reduces maintenance and makes it easy for others to build on it.
This is important to us because it lets us meaningfully contribute to something we love: a free, open, and accessible web.
The bottom line is that it’s good for your bottom line—saving you time and money now and over the long life of your business.
