To make owning a website more affordable, Universal Code has created customized templates.

Our templates make website ownership accessible and easy to manage. Choose from more than 15 base designs, personalize with your content and launch quickly.

Our Websites

We build our websites to meet our standards, take a look at the expectations we have for each website project we take on.

Accessible

We make accessibility a requirement for all of our websites. While we do offer Advanced Accessibility services, our Standard Accessibility ensures your website works well with screen readers and tab navigation. We expect our Website Owners to prioritize accessibility, not just for legal protection, but to better serve more community members.

Learn More About Our Standard Accessibility

Compliant

We referenced legal obligations when discussing accessibility, and failing to meet accessibility criteria does make you vulnerable to lawsuits. We work hard to create websites that conform to WCAG 2 AA standards. But accessibility is not the only type of legal compliance that websites need to know of - privacy is another major policy concern. We help our Website Owners stay compliant by offering solutions.

Future Minded

We take extra care to future-proof your website as much as possible. Even our Standard Website is built with code that makes it easy to change your fonts, colors, logos sitewide. We choose software that has a reliable track record and frequent updates, minimizing the risk that come with discontinued technology.

Our Projects

Building Your Website

To make the process as smooth as possible, we have created a streamlined process and collection of resources to help empower the website owner at every step.

Preboarding & Proposal

Before the project begins, a Preboarding Form kicks off the start of the Proposal process. This form helps us collect the details needed to create an accurate quote and determine if Universal Code is the right fit for the project. Once a contract is signed, the project starts and informational resources are created and shared.

Project Milestones

Every website build is broken into six stages: Onboarding, Discovery, Design, Development, Review and Hosting. These milestones were developed to help organize tasks and guide the project timeline. Project management is added to every website build to keep communication flowing and encourage closer collaboration through routine reports and scheduled consultation calls.

After Care & Hand-Off

Once the project is completed, you have a selection of options for the aftercare. Hosting is essential to the functioning of the website, so you may choose to host with Universal Code or choose your own web host - there's no shortage of types and options available.

Start the Process

Complete our Preboarding Form to request a Proposal. The answers to these questions will help us develop an accurate quote and actionable plan.

After Care

Every website requires some level of after care to maintain performance and security. Basic tasks like taking backups, monitoring security and routine software updates are highly encouraged for all types of websites.

Care Plans

Go beyond the basic web hosting tasks with our care plans. Choose a semi-managed plan to cover the basics, or a fully managed plan for advanced services and front-end tasks to help develop your website over time.
