Washington web design that holds up under a contracting officer's read.

Washington has an unusual top customer: the federal government, which employed about 162,000 people inside the District at the end of 2024. Around it sits the largest private sector in town, professional and business services — contractors, consultants, and research firms whose buyers are trained to evaluate. A design for that market puts the substance where an evaluator looks first: core competencies, NAICS codes, certifications you actually hold, contract vehicles, and past performance you are allowed to name. Nobody here is impressed by a slogan.

Accessibility is part of the design brief, not a plugin added afterward. Agencies operate under Section 508, many associations and universities hold themselves to WCAG, and inaccessible vendor sites get noticed by exactly the people you want to work with. We build to WCAG by default: real headings, readable contrast, keyboard navigation, and forms that work with a screen reader. Your counsel confirms what your contracts require; the site should already be ready for that conversation.

Associations and nonprofits along K Street have the opposite problem: too much content rather than too little. A decade of reports, testimony, and event pages needs structure a staff member can maintain without a developer. And the neighborhood businesses — restaurants, clinics, trades — need clean, fast sites that win on a phone two blocks away. Every build is priced by page count, from $1,500 for up to 10 pages to $5,750 for up to 70, with the full tiers on the pricing page. For institutional sites that have simply grown wild, see website redesign.
