# Mercury Media Partners

> We build fetching, ADA-compliant, lawsuit-resistant websites for business owners who want to grow their revenue without constantly watching their backs.

## Overview
Mercury Media is a specialized web development and marketing agency founded by Madeline, a legally blind entrepreneur, and named after her guide dog Mercury. We focus on two primary objectives for our clients:
1. **ADA Compliance:** We build websites that adhere strictly to WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA accessibility standards to protect local businesses from predatory drive-by lawsuits.
2. **SEO Performance:** Our architecture guarantees near-perfect PageSpeed scores (100/100) by utilizing a Zero-JS-by-default approach, relying heavily on semantic HTML and server-side rendering over heavy JavaScript frameworks.

## Technical DNA
- **Framework:** Astro v5 (Static Site Generation)
- **Styling:** Tailwind CSS v3.4 (Zero-runtime utility CSS)
- **Interactivity:** Vanilla JavaScript (Modular, dependency-free DOM manipulation)
- **Architecture:** "Guard Dog" pattern — High performance, strictly semantic landmarks, and aggressive lazy-loading.
- **Analytics:** Umami (Privacy-focused, self-hosted option)

## Core Offerings
- **The "Sniff Test" Audit (Free):** A complimentary 3-minute analysis of a business's current website covering Accessibility risks, Performance bottlenecks, and SEO opportunities.
- **Custom Web Rebuilds:** High-performance marketing pipelines built with Astro and Tailwind CSS.
- **Guard Dog Retainer:** Ongoing compliance monitoring and protection.

## Social Impact
Mercury Media is a woman-owned and disability-owned for-profit business. Our founder Madeline was privileged to be paired with her guide dog, Mercury — a professional navigation asset. We proudly donate 5% of our profits to Guiding Eyes for the Blind as a stewardship investment to support the training of future service teams.
