Sometimes you need a few extra hands.
When it comes to managing their digital presence, mission-driven organizations face unique challenges. Maintaining a strong website requires precision, collaboration, and expertise — from safeguarding data to ensuring accessibility and compliance with industry regulations.
For many teams, hiring an outside agency for a large website build can feel risky — especially if past experiences led to sites that didn’t meet their needs or felt disconnected from their mission. Their biggest fear is that they’ll end up with a site that’s built in a way their internal team won’t be able to edit, support, or extend on their own.
To avoid these challenges, many organizations are turning to staff augmentation to get the support they need while retaining control of the process. It allows their internal teams to keep their autonomy while getting the extra help or expertise needed to get their website across the finish line.
How can staff augmentation help your website?
Instead of outsourcing an entire project, staff augmentation provides targeted support where it’s needed most — whether that’s design, development, accessibility, or ongoing maintenance.
It’s a model that offers some important benefits for teams, allowing them to:
- Maintain control over the vision and execution of your website.
- Boost team capacity to meet tight timelines or handle larger projects.
- Fill skills gaps with specialized expertise, like compliance with ADA accessibility standards, security needs, or HIPAA regulations.
- Collaborate seamlessly with professionals who integrate into your workflow without disrupting your team’s dynamic.
Here at Kanopi, we’ve been offering staff augmentation for years — often helping clients under pressure to deliver high-quality websites that serve users, staff, and stakeholders alike.
How we partner with organizations
Clients who partner with us for staff augmentation often prefer us to sign non-disclosure agreements, so we can’t share those specific case studies. However, we can list a few non-specific examples of ways we’ve supported clients and their in-house teams:
- Bringing expertise to fill gaps: A Fortune 50 company brought us in to strengthen their team with custom Drupal module development, secure API integration for PPI compliance, assist with designs, keep projects on track, meet deadlines, and maintain high-quality standards.
- Collaborating under tight deadlines: When a hospital system’s in-house team was stretched thin during a major redesign, we stepped in to handle development work. We delivered on time while staying aligned with the team’s goals.
- Enhancing accessibility and compliance: A nonprofit provider required updates to ensure their site met both accessibility and HIPAA compliance standards. Our specialists joined their internal team to address gaps, ensuring the site was compliant, user-friendly, and patient-focused.
One example we can cite is the UCSF Department of Surgery. We partnered with their IT team to develop a template for 80+ sites, allowing each to feature unique content or share content across multiple domains.
Ready to enhance your team?
Even with a dedicated internal team, there are times when an extra set of hands — or a niche skillset — can make all the difference. If you need staff augmentation for your website, we’re here to collaborate with your team, helping you overcome resource challenges and build a website that meets both your current and future goals.
