/ The studio

Most agencies hand you off between a design department, a dev team, and whoever keeps the lights on. Charlie & Co. is built differently: one small studio where the interface, the codebase, and the infrastructure are all shaped under the same roof — so decisions made in design hold up in production.

With two decades rooted in the web — from art direction at the University of Toronto to the platform work behind national tools like STEAM — the studio brings design sensibility and deep technical range to every engagement. Accessible by default, cloud-ready by design, and built for today, not yesterday.

/ Process

A small, deliberate process — enough structure to keep things on rails, not so much that it gets in the way. One studio, accountable end to end.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We get clear on the problem, the audience, and what success looks like. No guessing, no assumptions — a scoped plan you sign off on before anything gets built.

  2. 02

    Design

    Interface and experience, accessible from the first wireframe. You see and shape the direction early, so there are no surprises later.

  3. 03

    Build

    Clean, fast, maintainable code — headless front-ends, real performance budgets, and WCAG 2.0 AA baked in, not bolted on.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Deployed onto infrastructure we architect and harden ourselves, with monitoring, backups, and a proper handover. It goes live ready, not hopeful.

  5. 05

    Support

    We don't disappear at launch. Patching, monitoring, and improvements on a predictable retainer — the studio that built it keeps it running.

/ Commitment

Accessibility is at the forefront of everything we build — never an afterthought, never a premium add-on. Every product we deliver meets WCAG 2.0 AA as a baseline and aims higher: real keyboard support, sound semantic structure, sufficient colour contrast, and respect for motion preferences. This very site is built and tested to that standard.

  • WCAG 2.0 AA — minimum

    The floor for every engagement, not a premium tier.

  • Keyboard-first

    Every interaction works without a mouse, with visible focus.

  • Screen-reader tested

    Semantic markup and labels, verified with assistive technology.

  • Motion-aware

    Animation backs off for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
