27 years of German web expertise. Now serving Southern California.

Born in Germany, based in Pasadena. Michael and the Ideary Works team bring three decades of world-class “German Engineering” to the Los Angeles digital landscape. We specialize in ADA accessibility and high-performance web solutions that work for everyone, everywhere.

Where Creativity meets German Precision.

The name ideary works /ˈaɪ.diˌɛə.ri wɜːrks/ is more than a label—it is our method for digital success.

💡 “ideary”

Derived from the English word idea, “ideary” represents our strategic foundation. It’s a space where creativity, strategic thinking, and conceptual clarity come together to form a prioritized roadmap for your business.

⚙️ “works”

This is where execution happens. We don’t just dream up concepts; we engineer them to work — visually, technically, and commercially. It represents our commitment to “German Engineering” standards: reliability, functional clarity, and meticulous attention to detail.

“Ideas that work. Web solutions that deliver. Digital strategies that pay off.”

Inclusivity is a right, not an add-on.

We bring German precision to the digital doors of Pasadena and Los Angeles. Our mission is to create ADA-compliant websites that convert, stay secure, and truly work for everyone.

The “German Standard” Approach:

No Messy Overlays: We don’t believe in “one-click fixes.” We remediate code, content, and media at the core to ensure your site is WCAG 2.2 AA compliant without the risks of failed widgets.
Real Fixes for Real Growth: We understand the day-to-day reality of businesses in Southern California. Your site shouldn’t be a tech burden—it should be a business asset that supports everyone, including users with screen readers or keyboard navigation.

What you get with Ideary Works:

Practical Audits: A prioritized roadmap of your live site.
Core Remediation: Repairing templates, navigation, and forms.
Content Excellence: Tagging PDFs, adding captions, and accessible alt-text.
Ongoing Stewardship: Training your team and continuous monitoring to stay compliant as you grow.

A personal note from the founder

Hi!

I’m Michael, the founder of Ideary Works LLC.

I brought my 27 years of professional web expertise from Germany to the heart of Pasadena to change how we think about digital inclusion. I didn’t start this studio to just churn out generic builds; I started it to improve the systems that already run your business.

I believe accessibility is a fundamental right, not an add-on feature. This is why I take a code-first approach — the “German way” of doing things: precise, transparent, and built to last.

In the fast-moving business world of Los Angeles and beyond, your site has to keep up. This requires more than a widget; it requires thoughtful remediation, keyboard-friendly navigation, and clear communication.

There are no “black boxes” here and no one-click “fixers.” From our first conversation, I will listen, map out quick wins, and support you with a practical roadmap that ensures your site works for everyone.

Sincerely,

Michael

Proudly serving Pasadena, LA, and the Digital World.
