The Cody Standard

I've built for the web for 15+ years, the last 10 at tech companies. These 12 checks are what I've learned matters most, and your site gets all of them.

After launch, I keep watching and fix what I find. My checks keep getting better, and every improvement reaches your site too.

When a check finds a problem, I fix it.

Fixes are always on me. If a fix changes what your site says, I ask first.

What I fix without asking

An honest note

No one can promise a flawless site, so I won't. I promise to keep checking, and to fix what I find. Have a question or a worry? Ask me. If I don't know, I'll find out and get back to you.
