## What each industry requires

Government websites require Section 508 accessibility on every page, every form, every PDF. Pharmaceutical websites require healthcare professional (HCP) and patient content separation, and approval workflows where a single unapproved word restarts the medical, legal and regulatory (MLR) review. Nonprofit websites serving federally funded organizations must meet accessibility mandates while processing donations through flows that meet the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standard.

These are not checklists you can hand to a QA team after launch. They are architectural decisions that must be made before the first line of code.

## What Compliance Expertise Looks Like in Practice

### Government: Section 508 in practice

US government websites require every page, every form, every embedded media element to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Our government portfolio includes federal offices, commissions, and committee sites. We build, test and maintain all of them to these standards, and non-technical staff manage them through our block theme CMS.

### Pharma: HCP/patient separation and regulatory workflows

HCP content must be separated from patient content at the infrastructure level. Promotional claims require regulatory review and approval before publication. Content update cycles follow quarterly regulatory timelines. We have built HCP portals, patient education sites, formulary toolkits, medical device microsites, and branded campaign pages operating within these constraints.

### Nonprofit: Accessibility and donation compliance

Federally mandated accessibility for organizations receiving public funding. Donation processing that meets PCI and state-level charitable solicitation requirements. Multi-stakeholder governance where boards, staff, and external partners all need different levels of CMS access.

### The compounding effect

Compliance expertise compounds. Every accessibility audit teaches us something that makes the next one faster. Every pharmaceutical regulatory cycle refines our workflow templates. Every nonprofit donation compliance review adds to our institutional knowledge.
