How we build

Standards aren't aspirational. They are contractual.

Every Blue Rocket Development project is delivered against the same four pillars. Each is measurable, each is verifiable, and each is built into your scope - not added as an "upgrade" later.

Security

OWASP Top 10 mitigation, dependency scanning, secrets management, encryption at rest and in transit, MFA, audit logging.

  • Threat-modeled architecture for every project
  • Automated dependency vulnerability scanning
  • Encrypted storage, encrypted transport, rotated keys
  • SOC 2 / HIPAA-ready engineering posture
  • Optional third-party penetration testing

Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA on every release - keyboard-navigable, screen-reader friendly, color-contrast verified, and tested with real assistive technology.

  • Automated axe-core scans in CI/CD
  • Manual screen reader QA (NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
  • WCAG 2.1 AA conformance reports per release
  • ADA-aware copy, language and structure
  • Dynamic type, reduced-motion and high-contrast support

Performance

Core Web Vitals as a contractual deliverable. 95+ PageSpeed mobile target. Sub-second cold launches in native apps. Auto-scaling cloud architecture.

  • Critical CSS inlined, fonts optimized, JS deferred
  • Image responsive sizing & modern formats
  • Edge caching & CDN by default
  • Real-user monitoring + synthetic Lighthouse runs
  • Performance budgets enforced in CI

SEO & GEO

Schema.org structured data on every page, semantic HTML, sitemaps, internal linking strategy, and local/GEO signals tuned for your market.

  • Schema.org (Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQ, etc.)
  • Open Graph & Twitter cards on every page
  • XML sitemap + robots.txt + canonical URLs
  • GEO metadata (geo.region, geo.position, ICBM)
  • Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal
Process discipline

Standards only matter when they are enforced

These are not policies on a slide. They are checked in CI, reviewed in PRs, and signed off before any release.

Code review

Every commit reviewed by a second engineer. Architectural decisions documented in ADRs.

Automated tests

Unit, integration, end-to-end and accessibility tests gating every deploy.

Release gating

Lighthouse, axe-core, secret scanning, dependency audits must pass before merge.

Hold us to it - in writing.

Every Blue Rocket Development contract references these standards by name. If you ever want to verify a release, ask for the latest conformance report - we share them on request.
