Let us help you with a refresh that adheres to the MSU brand standards and university guidelines! We’re design, development, and accessibility experts with the ability to understand and put your unit’s educational and business outcomes at the core of our design and development process.

Spartans Will Stand Out
Good news Spartans! Your program website can have a unique design while keeping a cohesive brand identity that ties you closely to MSU brand standards. In fact, this tie can help your program grow! As an extension of MSU, you can benefit from the reputation of a top 100 global research university. We can help you strike a balance between representing MSU and establishing your department’s separate identity. Our team creates websites with modern, eye-catching designs and goal-driven content strategy, all while meeting institutional brand requirements.
Accessibility
Our standard design and development process embraces WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 accessibility compliance not because we have to, but because it is critical to an inclusive world. As web professionals, it's our responsibility to build websites that are accessible to everyone, including people with physical, cognitive, or lingual differences. We are strong advocates of web accessibility, and we encourage every client to become familiar with accessibility best practices. That's why we conduct thorough accessibility testing and offer training to help our clients identify, fix, and prevent accessibility issues on their website. Accessibility matters, and we’ll help you navigate it.
Powerful Content Management Systems
Gain control of your online message with a powerful content management system (CMS). We work with some of the most robust CMS solutions on the market. But there's one that's our favorite. As CMS experts, we can build a custom solution that's tailored to your unique needs. Workflow settings allow you to grant permissions, determine the level of user access, and review work before it's published live. We work with your content team to make sure everyone feels comfortable with the CMS before we hand it over. Our team will introduce key features and explain how to accomplish certain tasks step-by-step.
