Content + design
Organize the pages around the questions visitors have. Make the site readable on a phone as well as a larger screen.
What we build
What do you need to make possible?
A website, a custom application, connected software, or a better way to handle documents. TLS takes on projects for small businesses, nonprofits, community organizations, and people working independently. A project can begin with just one task.
Websites + accessibility
A site people can find their way through.
Tell people what you do, help them find what they need, and make the next step straightforward. The project might be a complete website or a repair to the one you have.
Forms + next steps
Give inquiries, applications, and requests a useful place to go, with instructions people can understand.
Accessibility + upkeep
Check keyboard use, labels, contrast, and navigation. Repair the agreed barriers and document how to update the site.
See the two Talty websites. Automated checks support accessibility work; they do not certify WCAG conformance.
Custom apps + tools
Build the tool you keep wishing you had.
Some tasks are too particular for a ready-made product. We can work through the idea, make a prototype, and develop the parts that earn their place. The first version should be useful enough to try with the people who need it.
Everyday tools
Track jobs, organize a collection, compare records, or replace a spreadsheet that has become difficult to manage.
Review + decisions
Collect submissions or applications, assign reviewers, keep the source material nearby, and record decisions.
Prototypes
Turn an idea into something you can use and revise before committing to a larger build.
Look inside Kettle Brook, a larger application with participant and staff workspaces. For a smaller interactive example, try Penstock Review's editorial desk.
Connected software
Stop entering the same information in three places.
A request arrives through a form, someone copies it into a spreadsheet, and someone else sends a reminder. We look at which steps your existing software can handle and which need a connection or a small custom tool.
Requests + customers
Follow an inquiry from its first message through assignment, appointments, and the next action.
Learning + events
Plan how registration, schedules, reminders, and shared resources fit together.
Repeated tasks
Identify steps suitable for automation, keep review where it matters, and make failed steps visible.
The exact connection depends on what each service allows. We test it with sample data before proposing it for your live work.
Follow a sample service job through Sixteen Below Mechanical.
Documents + records
Find the information and the file it came from.
A collection becomes useful when you can search it, understand what each record means, and return to the original document. TLS designs tools for collecting, organizing, checking, and exporting that information.
Searchable collections
Bring scattered files into a consistent structure with useful names, categories, and search.
Document processing
Collect useful details from files, keep the source attached, and give someone a way to check the result.
Records + reports
Track status, follow decisions, and export information in formats you can keep using.
Try Kettle Brook Records Desk. The Work page also includes an agency rights example.
Some jobs need other experts at the table.
Regulated or highly sensitive data, formal procurement, critical uptime, legal interpretation, and security work can require counsel or another specialist. We name that need before anyone treats a website or workflow as the answer.
