Institutional Digital Platforms for Research & Governance
Built for compliance. Designed for autonomy.
WHO WE SERVE
Where Credibility and Compliance Are Non-Negotiable
WP New England partners with governance-driven organizations that must communicate authority, maintain accessibility, and operate securely, without sacrificing autonomy or long-term maintainability.
Accrediting & Governance Bodies
You oversee standards, evaluation, and public accountability. Your website must communicate legitimacy, withstand scrutiny, and remain stable through leadership, policy, and regulatory change.
Research Centers & Labs
You manage complex, structured content — people, publications, projects, and impact — and need autonomy from central IT without creating security, accessibility, or governance risk.
Institutional Programs & Initiatives
You run a defined program, initiative, or microsite that requires clarity, credibility, and operational efficiency, which compliments, not replaces, your existing digital architecture.
WHY INSTITUTIONS CARE
Your Digital Platform is Part of your Institutional Legitimacy
Stakeholders use your website to evaluate credibility, process, and risk. If information is unclear, inaccessible, or inconsistent, it erodes trust and creates friction for decision-makers.
Governance Clarity
We structure standards, policies, and processes so oversight bodies, boards, and the public can understand how your institution operates — quickly and confidently.
Structured Information Architecture
Institutional content is complex. We organize people, publications, standards, and programs into durable systems that scale without becoming fragile or confusing.
Accessibility & Compliance
Accessibility isn’t optional for institutions. We design platforms that meet modern WCAG expectations and support long-term compliance without constant retrofitting.
Operational Continuity
Institutions change leadership and staff. Our platforms are designed to remain clear, manageable, and stable long after launch, without relying on institutional memory.
100%
Proactive Oversight
We actively monitor, maintain, and secure institutional platforms to prevent issues.
Zero
Unvetted Dependencies
Our platforms minimize reliance on unstable third-party plugins, reducing attack surface, update risk, and long-term fragility.
One
Accountable Partner
A single, long-term technical partner responsible for platform integrity, continuity, and institutional knowledge.
A Disciplined Method Built for Institutional Reliability
Our approach reduces risk by limiting unnecessary dependencies, enforcing structure, and ensuring your platform remains stable, accessible, and understandable long after launch.
WordPress, Engineered for Institutional Use.
We design WordPress platforms the way institutions actually need them: secure, structured, and resilient. Our approach strips away unnecessary complexity and fragile dependencies, leaving a stable core that supports governance, accessibility, and long-term maintainability.
The result is a durable digital system your organization can rely on.
A Secure & Compliant Core
We build on a minimal, security-first architecture designed to meet institutional privacy, accessibility, and governance expectations. Every platform is engineered to reduce attack surface and long-term risk — not expand it.
Lean & Performant Architecture
Performance is an architectural decision. Our lean builds prioritize stability, speed, and reliability under real-world institutional load.
Flexible Tools for Your Team
We design editing systems for real teams, not power users. Structured content, clear permissions, and intuitive tools allow staff to manage complex information confidently without constant developer involvement.
Built to Scale and Integrate
Institutional platforms don’t live in isolation. Our builds are designed to integrate cleanly with CRMs, data sources, and external systems, allowing your site to function as part of a larger digital ecosystem.
OUR PROCESS
A Structured Process Designed for Institutional Reliability
Our process balances rigor with practicality — ensuring your platform is thoughtfully designed, securely built, and positioned for long-term stewardship from day one.
01
Institutional Discovery & Audit
We begin with a structured review of your organization’s mission, governance context, stakeholders, and existing digital footprint. This phase identifies clarity gaps, compliance considerations, and structural needs before any design or build decisions are made.
02
Architecture & Platform Design
We define the information architecture, content systems, permissions, and technical foundation that will support your institution long-term. This ensures your platform is structured, accessible, and resilient — not just visually polished.
03
Build & Validation
We implement the platform using our disciplined WordPress framework, validating accessibility, performance, and security throughout the build. Stakeholders are involved at key checkpoints to ensure clarity and alignment before launch.
04
Launch, Training & Stewardship
We train internal teams, document systems, and transition the platform into ongoing stewardship — ensuring continuity, accountability, and long-term operational confidence.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Core Capabilities
The core areas we focus on when building and supporting institutional websites.
Institutional Website Design
We design clear, durable websites for institutions — focused on structure, clarity, and long-term use, not trends or marketing campaigns.
WordPress Development
End-to-end WordPress development, from layout and templates to custom functionality, built to be fast, stable, and easy to manage.
Secure Hosting & Infrastructure
Sites are hosted on secure, managed infrastructure (often WP Engine), with backups, monitoring, and staging environments included.
Accessibility & Compliance
Accessibility is built into every project. We follow WCAG standards and help teams maintain compliance after launch.
Structured Content Systems
We build content systems for people, publications, programs, and initiatives so teams can make updates without technical help.
Ongoing Support & Stewardship
We provide long-term support, updates, and guidance — acting as a consistent technical partner, not a one-time vendor.
