Services Offered

BrightLeaf Group offers comprehensive web services, including but not limited to:

Web Application Design and Development. BrightLeaf's experience in designing, developing, and maintaining websites for clients such as Texas Health and Human Services (multiple sites), Texas Education Agency (multiple sites), Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area, and State Office of Administrative Hearings demonstrates that we produce appealing and usable websites running on solid technical architecture, while working well with even the largest client teams throughout the process. 

  • Web Application Design. Our User Experience and Accessibility teams are known for collaborating with our clients to design appealing, usable, responsive, and accessible sites across devices. Our approach leverages Total Experience, Service, and Employee Experience Design. 

  • Web Application Architecture and Development. BrightLeaf provides highly technical system architecture and development services for accessible web-based applications, including critical database-driven sites, complex third-party integrations, and heavily used portals. Our developers and architects are experts in analyzing requirements, rapid prototyping, building, and thoroughly testing a wide variety of applications.

  • Accessibility. Our accessibility efforts have proven successful on even highly examined projects such as the Texas Health and Human Services websites. To help ensure that the websites and online materials we develop meet WCAG, Section 508, and other guidelines, BrightLeaf's Accessibility team includes experts in document, media, web, and other application accessibility. Compliance starts with requirements gathering during the earliest phases of design, development, and content strategy.

  • Branding. The website is one of the key brand assets for an organization. We not only provide branding strategy and implementation, with appealing design and compelling writing, but fully understand and incorporate good content organization and stress-free technical execution.

  • SEO. To ensure the websites we develop can be found by users in the first place, our team includes SEO specialists, as well as web-savvy writers and editors.

    Web Content Management. BrightLeaf provides expert-level services including Content Management System (CMS) migration, implementation, architecture, and development. We also conduct content audits, migrate content, and provide content updates within an existing system. Systems supported include, but are not limited to Drupal, Craft, WordPress, ExpressionEngine, Ektron, Umbraco, Kentico, and Sitecore.

    • Content Development. Our team designs and develops the full range of assets that might be required for a website, such as web copy, graphics, infographics, animations, translations, social media, interactive PDFs, online brochures, online presentations, and digital video.

    • Accessible Audio/Video of Public Meetings. Many government agencies strive to provide transparency to the public. BrightLeaf can assist by providing live or delayed digital recordings, captioned digital video, and transcripts of public meetings, in compliance with WCAG guidelines. 

    Web Training, Maintenance and Support. BrightLeaf provides website-related training for customer staff as well as maintenance and support. The customer’s requirements for training, maintenance, and support are planned for during the earliest phases of the project. Our team brings years of experience in assisting customers with ramping up their own use of the website and then remaining in the background to provide ongoing maintenance and support.

    • Help Desk Support. BrightLeaf provides customer support for new websites and web applications. We can provide support for evening and weekend hours, or 24/7, depending on the customer's requirements.

    Website Hosting. BrightLeaf uses TX-RAMP-compliant service providers for cloud-based and other hosting solutions. Requirements for hosting and ongoing support are considered during the earliest phases of the project. Our team brings years of experience working with the most advanced hosting environments.

    Domain Name System (DNS) Management. BrightLeaf uses the highest-rated service providers for DNS management (registration, transfer, renewal, etc.) and provides customers with ongoing support. 

    Analytics and Other Business Tools. BrightLeaf uses Google Analytics for website traffic analysis and web marketing activities. Analytics requirements and ongoing requirements are considered during the earliest phases of the project. Our team brings many years of experience in analytics reporting and effectively utilizing the data to improve the website, including its marketing.
