UX/UI Consulting

In cases like this, the Monkee-Boy Creative Services team can take a holistic look at your project and provide design leadership to ensure your users and business have a great experience. Our comprehensive process of diagnostics and strategy, wireframes, design comps, development, quality assurance, and ongoing support examine every aspect of your digital presence to create solutions that don't just work, but work beautifully.

Intentionally Responsive, Mobile Design

More than half of web traffic comes from mobile devices, so "mobile-friendly" isn't a nice-to-have, it's mission-critical. That's why Monkee-Boy's approach to responsive design is baked into every phase of our process, starting with the diagnostic phase where we analyze competitor mobile experiences to identify opportunities and pitfalls. From there, we meticulously craft every element to not just "work" on smaller screens, but to shine on them. The result? A seamless, intuitive experience that feels tailor-made for whatever device your users are holding.

Compelling, ADA Conformant Designs

Great design should be experienced by everyone, full stop. While accessibility standards are increasingly becoming legal requirements, Monkee-Boy has been championing inclusive design long before it was mandatory. We believe it's simply the right thing to do. Our certified team members in both design and development bring expertise and genuine passion to creating digital experiences that work beautifully for all users, regardless of ability. From color contrast and keyboard navigation to screen reader compatibility and semantic markup, we weave accessibility into every decision we make throughout the design and development process.

I don't often gush, but the way our website happened on time and budget and with zero drama exceeds my expectations. We clearly had the right people and skills on both the Monkee-Boy and TSBVI teams.

Comprehensive Branding

Your brand exists everywhere, from business cards and brochures to websites and mobile apps, and when print and digital work together, they create the complete picture of who you are. Logo usage, fonts, and colors matter across all mediums, but what about the experience users have as they navigate your digital brand? At Monkee-Boy, we believe extending traditional branding into the digital realm is critical to creating a cohesive, memorable brand presence.

It's essential to consider how your brand translates across your site, mobile app, email signatures, online advertising, and beyond, but also how those interactive moments add value, build trust, and foster loyalty. Our creative team can bridge the gap between print and digital, developing a brand shows up consistently, no matter where your audience encounters it.

Brand Style Guides

A beautiful brand means nothing if it's inconsistently applied, which is why we create comprehensive brand style guides that empower your team to use your branding correctly across every touchpoint. These guides serve as the single source of truth for your visual identity, covering everything from logo usage and color palettes to typography, imagery standards, and digital-specific assets like buttons, links, and UI elements. Whether you're handing off materials to a new vendor, onboarding team members, or simply ensuring everyone's on the same page, a well-crafted style guide eliminates guesswork and protects your brand from dilution.

We've worked with and trusted Monkee-Boy as our digital partner for over a decade. These guys are super friendly, knowledgeable, and always find a way to get us exactly what we want. We couldn't be happier with their work or the experience of working with their team. Do yourself a favor and hire these folks for your next website project!

Frequently Asked Questions

Monkee-Boy builds compelling, inclusive, and easy-to-manage WordPress sites — visually stunning custom sites that are WCAG 2.2 AA compliant from the first wireframe, not retrofitted with overlays or plugins. Monkee-Boy specializes in large-content sites of 50 to 3,000+ pages, has been building on WordPress since the platform existed, is a WP Engine Preferred Agency Partner and a Pantheon Agency Partner, and has an IAAP-member team with two CPACC-certified accessibility professionals on staff.

The core differentiation is design-led accessibility by a very tenured team trained in accessibility best practices. Our seasoned team of full-time employees builds compelling, effective experiences that are natively accessible. Monkee-Boy does not use accessibility overlays (proven to be inaccessible), does not lean on plugin-heavy stacks, and does not hand off accessibility to a third party.

Mowgli is Monkee-Boy's proprietary accessible WordPress framework, launched in May 2024, built for small-to-medium businesses that need a fully accessible custom WordPress site at a lower cost than a fully custom build. Every component within Mowgli meets WCAG 2.2 AA out of the box, and the framework consistently achieves top scores in Google's PageSpeed Insights for performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO.

Mowgli projects typically start around $20K-$50K and go up from there. For sites with more than 30-40 pages and/or that include complex custom integrations or tools, a fully custom Monkee-Boy build is the better fit.

Don't hesitate to contact us to have a quick, no-pressure conversation about your options.

A typical Monkee-Boy WordPress build can take 4 to 8 months from kickoff to launch, depending on scope. A small custom site under 50 pages on the Mowgli framework can launch in 3-4 months. A mid-sized custom WordPress site of 50 to 500 pages typically takes 6 to 9 months. A large enterprise build of 500 to 3,000+ pages takes 8 to 12 months.

It is important to note that timelines are client-dependent too, meaning that client delays in feedback, approvals, and delivery of assets (most importantly content) will lead to delays in the overall project delivery.  most on content readiness on the client side and if client deliverables and feedback happen on schedule. 

Monkee-Boy has a structured content-shepherding process that will help hold your hand along the way and, when followed, can help keep the project moving quickly. For example, the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired's 3,000-page website was delivered on an 8-month timeline.

Assuming you have the time and knowledge, of course.

The better question is whether to remediate an existing WordPress site or rebuild it from the ground up for accessibility. Most WordPress accessibility problems come from page builders, off-the-shelf themes, and plugin sprawl that generate inaccessible markup at the structural level, so fixes have to be reapplied as content changes. 

Monkee-Boy strongly prefers building new WordPress sites on a custom, accessible foundation: for small-to-medium businesses, that foundation is Mowgli, our proprietary WordPress framework where every component meets WCAG 2.2 AA out of the box. For larger custom builds, accessibility is built into the theme, the content tools, and the editor experience from day one, producing accessibility-first sites that are compelling, inclusive, and easy to manage long-term.

In short, it depends on the accessibility gap. 

In some cases, remediating accessibility issues is very straightforward. In other cases, the gap can be so large that a full website replatform OR redesign can actually be less expensive.

Redesigning from scratch is usually the smarter long-term move, as it fixes surface-level issues and underlying theme, plugin, and architecture decisions that keep creating new accessibility problems every time you add content.

A new accessibility-first WordPress redesign also typically delivers durable inclusivity, protects the organization from lawsuits, and provides an easy-to-manage site with significantly lower ongoing accessibility maintenance costs. Remediation is the right call in two situations: when a regulatory deadline (such as Texas HB 5195's November 2026 reporting deadline) does not allow time for a full redesign, or when the existing site is otherwise healthy and has a manageable set of accessibility issues.

Monkee-Boy will tell you honestly which path fits your situation during the discovery call.
