About Us

Building Inclusive Digital Experiences

Huracán Studios LLC is a Puerto Rican, veteran-owned and operated accessibility consulting and web development firm dedicated to making the web work for everyone.

Our Mission

Accessibility Should Be Built In, Not Bolted On

We founded Huracán Studios with a clear belief: accessibility should be a foundational principle of web development, not a checkbox at the end of a project.

Too many websites are built without considering the 1 in 4 American adults who live with a disability (CDC, 2023). We exist to change that by building accessible websites from the start and helping organizations bring their existing sites into compliance.

Every project we take on is an opportunity to make the digital world a little more inclusive. That is not just good practice, it is the right thing to do.

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

100% Puerto Rican & Veteran-Owned

Huracán Studios LLC is a 100% Puerto Rican, veteran-owned and operated business. That background informs how we work: with discipline, accountability, direct communication, and a long-term commitment to serving people well.

Why Huracán

Our Name Reflects Impact, Recovery, and Renewal

The name Huracán carries force, memory, and renewal. In Puerto Rico, we know that a single powerful event can expose weakness, reorder priorities, and demand that what comes next be stronger than what came before.

That idea shapes our work. The web often changes after one consequential incident: a lawsuit, a failed audit, a broken user journey, or the moment a business finally sees who has been excluded. What follows should not be a temporary patch. It should be a corrected, improved, more resilient experience.

We named Huracán Studios with that truth in mind. We believe meaningful progress can begin with one impactful moment, just as Puerto Rico has repeatedly transformed hardship into rebuilding, adaptation, and forward motion.

Origin Story

One defining incident can become the turning point that produces something stronger, clearer, and more intentional.

Accessibility work is not only about fixing problems. It is about rebuilding digital experiences so they serve people better than before. As a veteran-owned and operated studio, Huracán Studios brings a service mindset to that work: assess honestly, act decisively, and leave the result stronger than it was.

That is the spirit behind the name Huracán.

How We Operate

A Small Studio With Operator-Level Attention

We intentionally run close to the work. That matters because accessibility projects require judgment, follow-through, and clear communication, not just a checklist. Clients work with a team that treats execution as a reflection of trust.

Operator's Note

We built this studio to do work that is precise, accountable, and genuinely useful to the people who rely on it.

Being veteran-owned and operated defines how Huracán Studios shows up: prepared, direct, and committed to leaving systems better than before. Being Puerto Rican shapes a perspective on resilience, adaptation, and building with purpose. Together, those values define the standard applied to every engagement.

Direct Accountability

The people shaping the strategy are close to the delivery. Clients get clear ownership, honest assessments, and fewer layers between decision and execution.

Calm, Disciplined Execution

We approach accessibility with focus and rigor: identify the issue, prioritize the work, and remediate without wasted motion or vague handoffs.

Service-Minded Partnership

Veteran-owned and operated means the work is grounded in reliability, preparedness, and respect for the people counting on the outcome.

Our Core Values

Accessibility First

We believe accessibility should be built into the web from the beginning, not added as an afterthought. Every project starts with inclusive design principles.

Modern Standards

We use current frameworks and best practices such as Next.js, React, and TypeScript to build websites that perform, scale, and remain maintainable long-term.

Long-Term Partnership

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time project. We build relationships with clients to support continuous compliance.

Education-Driven

We empower clients to understand accessibility. An informed client creates better, more accessible content on their own.

Client Snapshot

From 47 Violations to a Clean Re-Audit

Legal required WCAG 2.2 AA remediation before a federal contract renewal. A prior third-party scan had flagged 47 violations across the application, but the team had no remediation roadmap and no clear path to retest.

We ran a full WCAG 2.2 AA audit to establish a precise baseline, prioritized findings by severity and user impact, then remediated violations across three delivery sprints with verification testing at each stage.

The re-audit returned zero critical violations. The contract was renewed, and the accessibility fixes measurably improved keyboard navigation and screen reader experience across the application.
