What We Build

Web development services

From a five-page site that finally makes the phone ring to a multi-program public sector site with strict accessibility obligations.

Business Websites

Marketing sites that establish credibility and generate qualified inquiries: clear service architecture, location and service-area pages, lead forms, call tracking and analytics wired in from day one.

Nonprofit & Association Sites

Program pages, event calendars, donation and membership flows, board and volunteer resources, and content structures a small communications team can actually maintain without a developer.

Government & Public Program Sites

Accessible, plain-language public information sites with document libraries, multilingual readiness, records-compliant content workflow and a written Section 508 conformance report on delivery.

Website Redesign & Migration

Rebuilding dated or unsupported sites without losing search equity: content audit, URL mapping, 301 redirect plans, metadata migration and post-launch ranking monitoring.

Accessibility Remediation

Automated and manual audits of existing sites and PDF documents, prioritized findings, hands-on remediation of markup, contrast, focus order and screen reader behavior, and re-testing to confirm conformance.

Hosting, Care Plans & Security

Managed hosting, SSL, CDN, uptime monitoring, backups, platform and plugin updates, malware scanning and monthly content edits under a fixed care plan — the same discipline we apply to managed IT.

Search Engine Optimization

A website nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer

Design gets the credit, but structure gets the traffic. Every CIRRUS site ships with the technical foundation search engines need to index, understand and rank it, and with local signals tuned for the Maryland and DC market.

  • Keyword research and page-level intent mapping before a single layout is drawn
  • Clean semantic heading hierarchy, descriptive title tags and meta descriptions
  • Schema.org structured data for organization, services, local business and FAQ content
  • Core Web Vitals optimization: image compression, lazy loading, minimal render blocking
  • Local SEO setup including Google Business Profile, citations and service-area pages
  • Internal linking architecture that spreads authority to the pages that sell
  • Analytics, conversion tracking and Search Console configured and monitored

Accessibility Is Not Optional

For public sector clients accessibility is a contract requirement. For everyone else it is a legal exposure and a quarter of your audience. We test with automated tooling and with a screen reader, because automation alone catches roughly a third of real issues.

  • Semantic landmarks and logical heading order
  • Keyboard-only navigation and visible focus states
  • Color contrast meeting AA thresholds in both themes
  • Descriptive alternative text and accessible form labels
  • Accessible PDFs with tagged structure and reading order
  • Written conformance report delivered with the site
Our Process

From discovery to launch, without the mystery

1

Discovery & Strategy

Audience, competitors, keyword opportunity, conversion goals and a sitemap you sign off on before design begins.

2

Design

Wireframes and high-fidelity designs for key templates, reviewed on desktop and mobile with accessibility considered in the palette and type scale.

3

Build & Content

Responsive development, content migration or copywriting, SEO metadata, structured data, forms, integrations and analytics.

4

Launch & Care

Cross-browser and accessibility QA, redirect verification, launch, then ongoing hosting, updates, monitoring and content support.
