The sectors we work with

Public-facing stores, restricted government systems, defense supply chains, state, local and education buyers, and NGOs. Each has its own rulebook, and we build to it.

Publications, permits, merchandise and tickets, sold to the public

  • WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 508 in the US, EN 301 549 in the EU

  • Security hardening and reliable uptime

  • Procurement-friendly workflows, POs and approvals

  • Merchandise, permits, publications and event ticketing

  • Plain-language and multilingual content

  • Conformance documentation for procurement

Built to work the way public bodies work

Beyond the store itself, the engagement has to fit the institution: tenders, fixed scopes, documentation and handover. That’s how we run.

  • Responses to RFPs, tenders and framework agreements

  • Fixed scopes, milestones and transparent reporting

  • Documentation and evidence as standard deliverables

  • Training and handover to in-house teams

  • Data residency honored per project

  • Long-term support with defined SLAs

Tender-ready
from day one

RFP and tender responses with the references, certifications and documentation required.

Fixed scopes
and honest reporting

Milestones, budgets and progress reported openly. Oversight always knows where it stands.

Handover
is a deliverable

Documentation, training and knowledge transfer to your in-house team. No lock-in.

Support
that outlasts the launch

Defined SLAs, monitoring and a named team, for as long as the mandate runs.

Four disciplines, built in by default

Ministry, municipality, university or NGO, the same four disciplines decide whether the platform stands up.

Accessibility and inclusive design

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.

  • Built in from the first component

    Accessible navigation, forms and checkout, not a retrofit

  • Proven, not promised

    Screen-reader, keyboard and assistive-tech testing pre-launch

  • Paperwork included

    VPAT and conformance records ready for the buyer

  • Usable for everyone

    Plain language, multilingual content and research-grounded UX

And the public sector in between

Not everything is a ministry, federal agency or a school.
These carry public-sector rules too, and we build for them.

Enterprises & utilities

The commercial arm of government

Utilities, post and transport sell like any retailer, under procurement and consumer rules.

  • Storefronts under public oversight

  • Regulated tariffs, one catalog

  • Audit trails for the oversight body

Culture & heritage

Ticketing, memberships and the museum shop

Cultural institutions sell tickets, memberships and merchandise. Seasonal, accessible by law.

  • Ticketing, shop, one store

  • Memberships, auto-renew

  • Exhibition peaks, zero downtime

Healthcare & social

Where regulated products meet public buyers

Hospital supply, pharmacies and patient-facing services, with privacy and regulated catalogs.

  • Regulated data and eligibility rules

  • Privacy-first accounts and consent

  • Institutional orders alongside retail

Frequently asked questions

If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, feel free to reach out to us. We’re here to help!

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.

Yes. Punchout catalogs over cXML and OCI RoundTrip into SAP Ariba, Coupa, Oracle and Jaggaer, with purchase orders, requisitions, multi-level approvals, contract pricing and net terms.

Our team has passed US government background checks and delivered on US government-furnished, monitored equipment, with personnel screening and least-privilege access practices in line with control frameworks. The specifics are covered by confidentiality, and they stay that way.
