Websites your whole community can use

What we do

• Website redesign and migration. A full content inventory, a destination for every page you keep, redirects for every address that changes, and a launch that protects your search rankings and the links people have bookmarked.
• Accessibility to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Tested on every template and component, with a written report you keep.
• English and Spanish. Both languages on every page, with the Spanish reviewed by a fluent speaker before it is published.
• Training and documentation. Live sessions with your real content, plus editor and administrator guides written for your site.
• Hosting, support and maintenance. Offered as separate, optional lines, so you can compare the build price cleanly and decline what you do not need.

How a project runs

Six phases. Each one ends with a named deliverable that you accept in writing before the next begins.

1. Discovery. Kickoff, interviews, a content inventory and an accessibility baseline of your current site. You receive a discovery report.
2. Information architecture and wireframes. Navigation, page templates and the paths for your visitors’ most common tasks. You approve the sitemap and wireframes.
3. Visual design. Design concepts within your brand, with contrast checked before you see them. You approve the designs and the component library.
4. Build and migration. Content management setup, templates, forms, integrations and content migration. You receive a staging site with all of your content and a redirect map.
5. Testing and training. Accessibility, browser, device and performance testing, then training for your editors and administrators. You receive the test report and the guides.
6. Launch and stabilization. Cutover, redirect checks and monitoring, followed by 30 days of defect fixes at no cost.

The price is a fixed fee set by phase, and each invoice follows an accepted deliverable. You get a status call at the same time every week, with a written note the same day. Anything outside the accepted scope is priced in a one page change note before any work starts.

Accessibility

We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. Where a buyer names WCAG 2.2, the same process applies with the added criteria.

• In design: color contrast, focus states, heading structure and target sizes are part of the design system, so every page inherits them.
• In the build: semantic HTML, landmarks, labeled forms, skip links and full keyboard operation.
• In testing: automated scans with axe, pa11y and Lighthouse on every page and template, followed by testing by hand with a keyboard, with screen readers and at 200 percent zoom.
• In content: alt text, descriptive links, plain language headings and a one page accessibility checklist for the people who will publish after launch.

We do not use accessibility overlay widgets, because they do not fix the underlying problems. You receive a test report that lists what was tested, the method, the result and the fix for anything found. Any WCAG 2.1 AA defect found during acceptance testing, or in the 30 days after launch, is fixed at no added cost.

We hold our own site to the same process. Its current status, including what has not been tested by hand yet, is in our accessibility statement.

Recent work

Creation and Connoisseur

creationandconnoisseur.org is the website of a Las Vegas 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works on food insecurity. Every page is in English and Spanish. Staff edit pages, programs and news through a content editor, with no code. The site includes request, volunteer and contact forms and online donations.

Automated accessibility tests run on every page in both languages, at phone and desktop sizes, and report no errors. Testing by hand with a keyboard and screen readers is in progress, and the site’s own accessibility statement says so. Creation and Connoisseur was founded by Stacklight’s principal, and Stacklight built the site without charge.

stacklightai.com

The site you are reading is built by hand, with a strict content security policy. Automated accessibility checks run on every proposed change, covering every page, the forms, the menu and the chat assistant.

Our work for Las Vegas small businesses is covered by confidentiality agreements, so it is not shown here.

Who does the work

Aryah Certain, Founder, is the principal on every public sector and nonprofit project. She writes the proposal, builds the site, runs the accessibility testing and attends every status meeting. There is no handoff to a junior team after award, and no work is sent offshore.

Stacklight is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and was founded in February 2026. A small team supports each project with client communication, training, content review and Spanish review.

What you own

Your code, your content, your domain and your hosting account are in your organization’s name from the first day. Documentation is written as the work is done. Training recordings and guides are yours to keep.

How we use AI

Stacklight uses generative AI tools as working aids, in the same way we use code editors and accessibility scanners: for first drafts of code and documentation, candidate alt text and plain language rewrites, and repetitive quality checks. A named member of our team reviews and approves every deliverable before it reaches you. Your content, credentials and personal data are not used to train any model. Where your policy restricts AI use, we follow your policy and document how the work was produced.
