What does a web design company in Washington, DC do?
Web design is the planning and visual design of a website: its structure, layout, typography, imagery and interactions. For Washington, DC businesses, however, the local market shapes how we approach that work. In the DC region, accessibility is not optional: Section 508 and WCAG compliance are baseline expectations for anyone who sells to government.
In addition, Northern Virginia’s tech corridor around Tysons and Reston is one of the largest concentrations of cybersecurity and govcon firms in the country.
