Mission

Our mission is to make the internet radically inclusive by creating accessible and sustainable websites that follow WCAG standards with a minimal environmental impact.

People with disabilities are a historically marginalized group of internet users. We create websites that are designed from the beginning to provide equal access to all people regardless of (dis)ability.

Additionally, the internet as a whole produces roughly the same emissions as global aviation travel. We build websites in such a way as to improve their energy efficiency and host websites using green energy sources.

Our Core Values

We live and breathe our core values of Embrace Differences, Lead with Love, Create with Curiosity, and Invest in the Greater Good.

The following lists include examples of mindsets, behaviors, and actions that illustrate what each of the core values means to us.

Embrace Differences

  • Don't judge people by their covers. How they look and speak, their education, their beliefs, and their background/experiences is all part of what makes people unique and interesting.
  • Welcome individuals where they are emotionally, physically, spiritually.
  • Acknowledge and value differences of thoughts, values, ways of thinking/doing (Kolbe), perspectives, etc in others and ourselves.
  • Be open and flexible to change and new ways of thinking/doing.
  • Design and develop solutions which accommodate people's various differences.

Lead with Love

  • Be empathetic, caring, and respectful towards everyone (self, team, clients, vendors, the public).
  • Own your seat (responsibilities, expertise, etc) and move towards individual and collective leadership, regardless of your position on the team.
  • Show initiative by stepping up to do what is necessary, even without being asked.
  • Understand your limits and delegate when necessary.
  • Follow when needed and step aside for others to succeed.
  • Balance impact on yourself, individuals, the team, and community when making decisions.

Create with Curiosity

  • Be inquisitive — explore, research, learn, listen, seek to understand — without presumption.
  • Improvise and push the boundaries of what's been done before.
  • Approach challenges with a "beginner's mind" to see things from a new perspective.
  • Keep an eye out for creative improvement opportunities even if they fall outside of our standard process.
  • Trust yourself.

Invest in the Greater Good

  • Proactively consider the costs and benefits of our options today, to make the best possible choice for the most long-term, sustainable positive impact for as many stakeholders as possible.
  • Give back to our community through service opportunities and donations.
  • Enable and encourage confidence, empowerment, and self-efficacy.
  • Help team members grow personally and professionally.
