Engineering inclusive digital experiences.

Inclusivity is a right, not an add-on. We are a specialized digital agency in Pasadena, CA, combining strict engineering precision with 27 years of web expertise to build websites that work for everyone, everywhere.

The story behind Ideary Works

Founded by Michael Mees, Ideary Works was born out of a frustration with the digital status quo. With nearly three decades of IT and web development experience brought from Germany to Southern California, Michael saw an alarming trend: businesses were increasingly relying on cheap, automated plugins that failed to make the web truly accessible and left business owners legally exposed.

The Meaning of Our Name: We believe digital success requires two halves to make a whole.

“ideary”

represents the strategy. It’s the concept, the meticulous audits, and the clear roadmaps we design.

“works”

represents the execution. It’s the rigorous coding, the manual testing, and the absolute precision required to turn concepts into flawless, legally compliant digital assets.

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

Why we do what we do

Most agencies treat ADA compliance as a legal checkbox. We treat it as a fundamental growth strategy and a human right. Over 1.3 billion people globally experience some form of disability, representing over $13 trillion in spending power. When your website is inaccessible, you are essentially locking the front door to a massive portion of your audience.

We reject overlays:
We don't believe in $49 "band-aid" widgets that merely mask bad code and invite lawsuits. We believe in native, structural accessibility.
We protect brands:
Especially for our clients in hospitality and real estate, we know your website is your digital storefront. We ensure it's welcoming to every single visitor.
We drive growth:
Accessible code is semantic code. By designing for everyone, we simultaneously boost your search engine rankings and increase your conversion rates.

The 4 Pillars of our methodology

Accessibility isn’t a one-time project; it’s a lifecycle. We guide our clients through a proven, four-pillar framework to ensure permanent compliance and digital growth.

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 Mees
Founder of ideary Works LLC
