Federal accessibility standards aren’t optional.

If your website doesn’t meet WCAG and Section 508 requirements, you risk complaints, funding issues, and public trust damage.
AEGIS builds structured, accessible platforms aligned with federal standards — not patchwork fixes.

A Federal Standard for Accessibility Compliance

  • Used by the White House, NASA, State & Local Governments.
  • Built and maintained by the U.S. federal government.
  • Universal Standards & Security compliance.

No Vendor Lock-In. Built for Long-Term Control.

Most proprietary website platforms create long-term dependency.
AEGIS builds open, standards-based systems that you own — structured for portability, integration, and future expansion.

Your website should be a strategic asset, not a subscription trap.

Open Architecture
We build on open standards such as Drupal and USWDS.
No proprietary templates, no closed ecosystems, no forced hosting requirements.

Your data, codebase, and content structure remain fully transferable.
True Data Ownership
Content models, taxonomies, and integrations are structured — not locked inside visual builders.

You can migrate, extend, or redeploy your platform without rebuilding from scratch.
Intergration Without Platform Fees
With Nexus Connect, your website acts as a command center — connecting CRM, ERP, payment, identity, or SaaS tools via API.

You are not paying “connector” fees to a proprietary website vendor.
Predictable Long-Term Cost
Open platforms eliminate:
Platform upgrade penalties, forced theme rebuilds, plugin stacking dependency, and vendor-controlled pricing escalations.

You invest once in structure — not repeatedly in migration.
Future-Proof Foundation
Built on open standards and modern frameworks, your platform evolves with technology — not against it.
Security updates, feature expansion, and design refreshes happen within a stable architecture — without starting over.
Enterprise-Grade Flexibility
Your website isn’t a static brochure — it’s infrastructure.
Multi-site capability, role-based permissions, structured workflows, and API-first integration allow your platform to scale as your organization grows.

You expand functionality — not complexity.

Accessibility Testing

Compliance is not a checklist – it requires verification. We conduct:

  • Automated WCAG scanning
  • Manual keyboard navigation testing
  • Screen reader spot checks
  • Color contrast validation
  • PDF/document accessibility review
  • Form and workflow accessibility validation
