Defined SLAs, monitoring and a named team, for as long as the mandate runs.
Ministry, municipality, university or NGO, the same four disciplines decide whether the platform stands up.
Legal in most jurisdictions, and simply good commerce: an accessible store works better for everyone. Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act extends these obligations to e-commerce across the EU.

Real, name-able public-sector relationships first. The rest stays confidential, and we keep it that way.

Confidential work
We can’t showcase some of the work we’ve done in this sector. But you can see how we build everywhere else.
Not everything is a ministry, federal agency or a school.
These carry public-sector rules too, and we build for them.
Utilities, post and transport sell like any retailer, under procurement and consumer rules.

Let’s talk, and we’ll help. One discovery, and you leave with a plan you could hand to any agency, even if it isn’t us.
Public data, personal data, or restricted government data? This decides everything downstream.
Accessibility-only, national security, or export controlled defense, with the real obligations of each.
SaaS vs self-hosted on dedicated infrastructure, and why.
Against the governing control framework and WCAG 2.1 AA.
A phased plan, the documentation you’ll need, and who owns each control.

No. FedRAMP authorization attaches to a specific hosted system or cloud provider, not to a development agency, so no dev partner holds that. CMMC is an organization-level certification obtained when a contract requires handling CUI; we don’t hold it today. What matters in practice: agencies aren’t FedRAMP authorized, but the tools and cloud services we build on regularly are, so we’re equipped to work with FedRAMP-authorized software on government projects. Beyond that, we build and harden commerce to the frameworks behind them, NIST 800-53 and 800-171, run an ISO 27001 & 9001 audited security program, and support your authorization process with architecture, evidence and documentation.
It depends on the data. Public-facing stores with no restricted data have real freedom, Adobe Commerce, Magento with Hyvä, or Shopify. The moment restricted government data is involved, multi-tenant SaaS is effectively off the table, and the workable route is self-hosted Adobe Commerce, Magento Open Source or Mage-OS on dedicated, hardened infrastructure.
Yes. Accessibility is built in, not bolted on: WCAG 2.1 AA builds, Section 508 in the US and EN 301 549 in the EU, screen-reader and keyboard-only testing, and the VPAT and conformance documentation procurement expects.
