Custom WordPress & Drupal Websites Built for the Sectors Where Compliance Isn’t Optional

For two decades, FIREANT STUDIO has practiced institutional web design — building and sustaining the websites that public agencies, universities, nonprofits, and enterprise platforms depend on.

The organizations where accessibility, regulatory exposure, and multi‑stakeholder complexity aren’t edge cases, but daily operating conditions.

We don’t retrofit accessibility after launch. We architect it into WordPress and Drupal builds from the first wireframe — the only approach that holds up under an audit, a procurement review, or a constituent complaint.

Institutional Web Design, Defined by Compliance.

Four sectors where the standard isn’t a preference — it’s the law, the funder requirement, or the procurement gate. Each carries its own regulatory reality, and we build to it.

Higher Education

ADA Title II • Section 508 • OCR Complaint Exposure

ADA Title II applies to every public college and university — and its highest‑litigation surfaces are the ones students can’t avoid: admissions, financial aid, course registration, and the LMS. An inaccessible portal isn’t just legal exposure; it tells prospective students the institution wasn’t built with them in mind, and it shows up in enrollment and retention.

Non-Profit / Social Impact

ADA Title II • Section 504 • WCAG 2.1 AA

The populations nonprofits serve most often — people with disabilities, older adults, underserved communities — are the exact users an inaccessible site excludes. The ADA reaches nonprofits as places of public accommodation, Section 504 governs federally funded organizations, and grant-makers increasingly require documented accessibility. An inaccessible donation flow isn’t a missed gift; it’s a grant deliverable at risk.

SaaS & B2B

VPAT / ACR • WCAG 2.1 AA • Section 508

Enterprise procurement changed the calculus: accessibility is now a scored line item in RFPs, a prerequisite in government and regulated-industry bids, and a live source of litigation risk. The platforms winning the deals that matter carry current VPATs and WCAG-conformant interfaces that don’t get flagged in review. For B2B sellers, accessibility is the tiebreaker — or the disqualifier.

Government & Public Sector

ADA Title II • Colorado HB21-1110 • Section 508

Government carries an obligation no other sector shares: every constituent must be able to reach public services and information. With the April 2026 ADA Title II deadline now passed for jurisdictions of 50,000+, agencies operating without documented WCAG 2.1 AA conformance face DOJ inquiry, private litigation, and consent decrees that can run for years.

Tourism & Destination Marketing

Often partially publicly funded — and so subject to state accessibility requirements while competing for every visitor, including the underserved disability travel market.
