Key Features of Our Airport Websites

Federal Accessibility Standards

Compliance with federal accessibility standards is mandatory for our sites. All our websites adhere to WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines, ensuring they are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This not only helps you meet regulatory requirements but also enhances the user experience for a broader audience.

Complete Control and Ownership

We build our sites to give airports complete control and ownership. There is no agency locking, meaning you won’t need to call us for expensive changes after the site is built. Your team will have the freedom and flexibility to manage and easily update your website as needed.

Customizable Content Management

Foxtrot is our custom WordPress content management solution designed exclusively for airports. Foxtrot includes a powerful visual builder that allows for intuitive website customization. This means your team can easily update content without needing extensive technical knowledge.

Centralized Updates

Our custom post types streamline airport website management by centralizing updates for airlines information, destinations, amenities, and staff contacts. Effortlessly manage and display essential information from a single location, ensuring consistent and user-friendly content across your site.

Responsive Design

Our websites are built to be fully responsive, which allows for an optimal user experience on laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. Whether your visitors are checking their flight status on the go or exploring airport amenities from their desktops, they’ll enjoy a seamless, user-friendly experience.

Comprehensive Design Approach

Our designers are trained in digital accessibility compliance, so every website is built from the start to be accessible and easy to navigate. We are skilled in various design styles, and will tailor the design to each airport’s needs. We don’t use templates; instead, we build on the airport’s brand and style.

Hosting, Support and Maintenance

Launch day is just the start. Every site we host runs on enterprise-grade WP Engine hosting, and the same team that built it keeps it fast, secure and up to date.

Enterprise Hosting, 99.99% Uptime

Your site runs on WP Engine’s enterprise platform on Google Cloud, AWS or Azure, with high-availability and failover setups for airports that need them. Every site we host is covered by a 99.99% uptime SLA and watched around the clock.

Same-Day Turnaround

Most support tickets are taken care of the same day, usually within the hour. Critical issues get 24/7 support, so a problem at 2 a.m. doesn’t wait for business hours.

Security Controls and SSO

WP Engine’s Global Edge Security puts Cloudflare’s enterprise firewall, CDN and DDoS protection in front of your site. We add our own hardening on top: custom security headers, daily patching and constant threat monitoring. Single sign-on (SSO) is available for your team’s logins.

Updates and Backups Handled

We keep WordPress, your theme and your plugins current, and every update is tested in staging before it goes live. Daily backups from two separate providers mean a quick recovery if anything goes wrong, and monthly reports show what we did.

Content Help, As Much as You Need

Some airports want us to post every alert, news story and board agenda. Others only call when a big page needs a refresh. We do as little or as much of your content updates as you like.

The Team That Built It

Your tickets go to the designers and developers who built your site, not a call center. We already know your airport, your systems and your deadlines, so there’s nothing to explain twice.

Airport Website Development: Common Questions

We only build airport websites, and we’ve designed, hosted and supported more than 50 of them. Every one is built to WCAG 2.1 AA. Your team gets airport tools that already work, like emergency alerts, board meeting pages and a procurement center, plus a mobile-first design for travelers checking a flight at the curb. And we have never missed a contracted airport launch date.

Foxtrot is our WordPress platform built for airports. It uses a custom theme, the native block editor and Advanced Custom Fields Pro, so staff can update pages, news, alerts and documents without touching code. We avoid page builders and keep plugins to a minimum, which means fewer vulnerabilities. Foxtrot is non-proprietary, and your airport owns its domain, files, accounts and content.

Most of our airport builds take about five to six months from kickoff to launch. A typical schedule runs discovery for three to four weeks, design for about six, and development and migration for about ten, then testing, training and launch. Staging can be live within 48 hours of signing. The schedule assumes your team reviews each deliverable within about five business days.

Your team handles day-to-day updates, and we make that easy. We train your editors at launch, hand over a video library for every routine task, and provide a web style guide so new pages stay on brand. The editor flags missing alt text and skipped headings before a page publishes. When you need help, a set number of support hours is included each month.

We host airport sites on WP Engine’s enterprise platform on Google Cloud, AWS or Azure, behind Global Edge Security, Cloudflare’s enterprise firewall. Every site we host has a 99.99% uptime SLA. We test updates in staging first, keep daily backups, monitor security and accessibility, and send monthly reports. Most tickets are handled the same day, usually within the hour, and critical issues get 24/7 support.

We design and code every site to WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard in the DOJ’s ADA Title II rule, and we never use overlays. Before launch we test with automated scans, keyboard-only navigation and screen readers, then deliver a validation report and an accessibility statement. Deadlines are April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000 or more, and April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special districts.

Let’s do great work together.
