What we build

We design and build WordPress and Next.js websites, remediate existing sites to WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 Level AA, and build intake and service-finder applications, data dashboards and bilingual sites for organizations that serve the public. We also run hosting operations and train staff so a site stays current and accessible after launch. Every account, license and file is held in the client's name.

Recent prototypes

For recent solicitations we built working homepages from each organization's public information so evaluators could judge the work rather than a description of it. Each is labeled as a prototype on its own pages, and anything not drawn from the organization's site is marked illustrative.

Team

Tavon Giaquinta, Founder and Principal Engineer of Platos Collective, in a light jacket and round glasses

I started Platos Collective because the organizations that serve the public usually get the worst software: a template nobody owns, a vendor nobody can reach, and a site that fails the people who need it most. We build the opposite. Small team, written scope, tested with the assistive technology people actually use, and handed over so you own every part of it.

If a proposal brought you here, the prototype that came with it is how we work. The finished site is built the same way.
