OPTiMO has been designing and developing user-centric, high-performance mobile and web applications, as well as providing full-service print and digital graphic design, for federal government customers since our founding in 2008. In addition to deep expertise across a broad range of programming languages, platforms, and proven modern technologies, we also support the end-to-end design and development of business systems, enterprise applications, and solutions for both print and digital media.
We have proven quality and Section 508 accessibility practices embedded in every phase of our design, print, and development processes. Our team includes DHS Trusted Testers who apply accessibility standards from the outset, integrating them seamlessly rather than adding them as an afterthought. Whether it’s print media, web applications, or mobile design, we ensure every solution is inclusive, high-performing, and aligned with our clients’ goals. We transform each customer’s project vision into a resounding success every time.
