Why does SB certification matter to a public agency?

California sets a goal of directing at least 25% of state contracting dollars to certified small businesses, and certified SBs receive a bid preference on eligible state solicitations. Working with a certified SB(Micro) helps agencies make progress toward those participation goals — while the certification itself verifies the business is legitimate, California-based, and vetted by DGS.

What kinds of public-sector web work do you take on?

Informational and program websites for cities, special districts, county programs, school and college programs, and public campaigns — plus the full range of nonprofit sites: organization sites, program pages, donation-ready builds, and event or initiative microsites. Fast, secure, hand-coded sites with no fragile CMS to maintain.

How does your pricing work for agencies and nonprofits?

The same way it works for everyone: one flat price, in writing, before any work begins — which procurement teams tend to appreciate. Nonprofits also qualify for our quarterly Give-Back program, and we're happy to structure quotes to fit grant cycles and budget years.

Why It Matters to Buyers

What SB certification means for your procurement

Certification isn't a decoration — it changes the math for public buyers in three concrete ways:

🎯

Participation goals

California's 25% SB contracting goal

The state directs agencies to award at least 25% of contracting dollars to certified small businesses. Every dollar with a certified SB(Micro) counts toward that goal — and gets reported that way.

⚡

Simpler procurement

Streamlined paths for SB purchases

California's procurement rules include streamlined acquisition options for purchases from certified small businesses — often meaning less paperwork and faster awards for eligible contracts. Your purchasing office knows the thresholds; we fit under them.

✅

Vetted & documented

DGS-verified, publicly listed

Certification means the state has verified we're a legitimate, California-based small business. Combined with our flat written quotes, your file has everything documentation-loving auditors want to see.

Program details (goals, preferences, and streamlined-purchase thresholds) are set by the California DGS Office of Small Business & DVBE Services — your procurement team can confirm how they apply to your specific purchase.

🏛

Agency & program sites

Tap for details

Informational sites for cities, special districts, county programs, and public initiatives — clear navigation, plain-language content, current documents, and contact paths that actually work. Built lean so they load fast on every connection, including rural ones.

💛

Nonprofit organization sites

Mission-forward sites with program pages, impact storytelling, volunteer signups, and donation-ready builds connected to secure payment processing. Nonprofits also qualify for our quarterly Give-Back program — one free build per quarter.

♿

Accessibility-conscious builds

Tap for our honest approach

Semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, alt text, contrast checks, and testing against WCAG guidance come standard. Formal compliance requirements? We scope accessibility review and remediation explicitly in the quote — documented up front, the way public projects need it.

🔒

Security by architecture

Tap for details

Our sites are hand-coded static builds — no database to breach, no plugin vulnerabilities to patch weekly, dramatically less attack surface than typical CMS sites. For public-facing sites that mostly inform, it's the most secure architecture there is, and the cheapest to keep secure.

📄

Procurement-friendly pricing

Tap for details

One flat price, in writing, before work begins — with scope spelled out line by line. We structure quotes to fit budget years and grant cycles, and there are never hourly meters or surprise change orders. Your file stays clean; your auditor stays happy.

🔑

Full public ownership

Tap for details

The agency or organization owns everything — domain, files, content — from day one, with clean handoff documentation. No vendor lock-in, ever. If we part ways, you keep the whole site and our blessing. It's the same ownership promise we make every client, and it matters even more with public funds.
