Standards beneath the surface.
The finish you see depends on commitments you do not. These apply to every commission.
A written brief
Audience, goals, scope, exclusions and decision owners, agreed before production.
Prototypes in motion
Key interactions prototyped and reviewed before they are built.
Accessible by design
WCAG 2.2 AA as the target, including reduced-motion alternatives for every animation.
Performance budgets
Agreed limits for loading and interaction, checked during build.
Engineering hygiene
Code review, automated tests, preview builds and rollback.
Your ownership
Code, accounts and assets in your name throughout.
Documented handover
Design system, technical notes and a walkthrough session.
When a standard cannot be met
If constraints prevent a standard being met in full, we record why, the risk and the mitigation in the brief before work begins.
