Accessibility and integrations as architecture, not plugins.
A working concept homepage for a Tribal College & University — keyboard-navigable, WCAG 2.1 AA, with a role-based CMS and real SIS, LMS and giving integrations. Built to be evaluated before the call, not after a costly engagement.
“Rooted in our people. Built for what’s next.”

Three integrations, wired to real data flows

Built for TCU realities
Designed for rural students, low bandwidth, and your culture
Decisions made for the people who actually use a tribal college site — on phones, on slow connections, with a brand the college owns.
Low-bandwidth budget
A hard performance budget for rural connections — lean pages, no heavy autoplay video on load.
< 200 KB first viewCulture-respectful design
A warm, humanist system. Palette and type here are inferred placeholders — replaced by the college’s brand guide.
Brand guide governsBilingual-ready
Content structured for a second language from day one — Native-language fields ready when the college is.
