11 - Standards
Quality is a delivery requirement,
Every system must be fast, readable, accessible, and maintainable enough that every decision after launch is easier - not harder.
Performance target
90+Lighthouse
Accessibility
95+Audit score
Core Web Vitals
FCP < 1.5s · TTI < 3.5s · CLS < 0.1 on primary pages.
Clean, Maintainable Code
Code is read far more often than it is written. We optimize for clarity, consistency, and maintainability - not clever shortcuts that create future debt.
Requirements
Strict TypeScript
Component-based architecture
Automated testing
Continuous integration
Benchmarks
Zero lint errors
> 80% test coverage
Documented API endpoints
Speed as a Revenue Driver
Every 100ms of latency is a conversion leak. Performance is a design constraint from day one - not an optimization pass squeezed in post-launch.
Requirements
Edge-first delivery
Modern image formats
Minimal JS execution
Font optimization
Benchmarks
Lighthouse Performance > 90
LCP < 2.5s
CLS < 0.1
Accessible by Default
If it is not accessible, it is not finished. WCAG compliance is a build requirement - not a post-launch checklist item.
Requirements
Semantic HTML
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance
Keyboard accessibility
Screen reader support
Benchmarks
Lighthouse Accessibility > 95
No ARIA errors
Contrast ratio > 4.5:1
Security from Day One
Trust is earned through security built in - not bolted on. CSP headers, dependency audits, and input sanitization before anything ships.
Requirements
CSP headers
Secure authentication
Sanitized inputs
Dependency audits
Benchmarks
Grade A security headers
No high-risk CVEs
Regular patch cycles
Accountability built in.
automatically.
CI/CD pipelines block deployments if these standards are not met. Quality does not degrade over time - it is enforced on every deploy.
