Web Development in Tysons, VA

Yes — and for any Tysons firm with federal exposure, this is non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA as the baseline, which covers the technical requirements behind Section 508 for any site that touches a federal buyer or sub-tier contractor. That means semantic HTML, keyboard-navigable components, visible focus states, proper color contrast on the brand palette, alt text on every image, accessible form labels, and ARIA attributes only where they actually add value (over-ARIA'd sites fail audits as often as under-ARIA'd ones). We run automated scans with axe-core and Lighthouse during the build, plus a manual keyboard-only and screen-reader pass before launch. If your firm has a specific VPAT or ACR requirement from a prime contractor, we will document conformance in the format the prime expects rather than handing over a generic checklist.

The stack is intentionally chosen for that review. Astro and Next.js compile to static or hybrid output, deployed to Cloudflare Pages or Vercel — no PHP runtime, no WordPress plugins, no admin panel sitting on a public URL waiting for a brute-force attempt. That removes most of the findings a typical security review surfaces against marketing sites. We default to first-party analytics or a single privacy-respecting tracker (Plausible, Fathom, or self-hosted) instead of the standard four-to-six-tracker bloat that gets flagged for data-exfiltration risk in finance and federal reviews. SSL is automatic and modern (TLS 1.3, HSTS), Content Security Policy headers are configured, and we hand over a written security posture document with the launch package so your IT team has the artifact they need when the prime or the bank vendor-management group asks. If the firm requires the site to live inside a specific cloud or behind a WAF you already pay for, we will deploy to that target instead of our defaults.

Marketing sites themselves are rarely in FedRAMP or CMMC scope — those frameworks govern systems that handle federal data, not your public-facing brochureware. But the buyers reading your Tysons capability site absolutely care that your firm understands the difference, and that the site does not become the weak link that pulls scrutiny onto in-scope systems. Practically, that means we keep the marketing site in a separate cloud account from any production federal workload, avoid embedding tools that would create data flows back into in-scope environments, and ensure forms route to a CRM your firm has already validated rather than a marketing-automation tool that has not been reviewed. If you need the site to host content that references in-scope systems (downloadable capability statements, white papers, webinar replays), we structure the asset hosting so the marketing site stays out of any audit boundary. We are not a FedRAMP 3PAO and will not pretend otherwise — but we will not build a site that creates avoidable compliance headache for the rest of your stack.

Single landing page or capability-statement page: about one week from kickoff to launch, assuming brand assets and copy are ready or our SEO content writer is engaged from day one. Multi-page web development project (home, about, capabilities, leadership, contact, plus two to four service or solution pages): two to three weeks. Programmatic SEO build with location, service, or industry templates: three weeks plus, depending on the data model. Integration with a CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics) or a marketing-automation tool (Pardot, Marketo, HubSpot) adds two to four days for proper form routing, lead-source tagging, and field mapping. We work fixed price — you see the scope and the number before we start, and post-launch bug fixes and minor content edits are included for the first thirty days without a retainer attached.

Yes, when the engagement calls for it. For most marketing-site builds, async is faster — we move quicker writing code than sitting in conference rooms, and the deliverables get reviewed cleanly through a staging URL and a short Loom walkthrough. But for kickoff workshops, executive content interviews with leadership for capability or bio pages, and brand-direction sessions with marketing and creative teams, on-site in Tysons, McLean, Reston, or Arlington works well and we will come to you. Founder-led engagements include the option of a half-day or full-day on-site discovery session inside the project scope. Past the kickoff, weekly check-ins and milestone reviews run on Zoom or Google Meet because that is what your team is already living in.
