//In every build
What your residents get
The baseline for every city, county and agency site we build, so your RFP can ask for it by name.
Accessible
Designed and tested against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard the ADA Title II web rule names for state and local government, and the Section 508 baseline. That covers the PDFs and forms you post, not just the pages.
- WCAG 2.1 AA
- Section 508
- ADA Title II
Secure
HTTPS everywhere, a lean set of maintained plugins, two-factor sign-in with the least access each person needs, scheduled updates and offsite backups you can restore.
- Hardened WordPress
- 2FA
- Backups
Transparent
Agendas, minutes, budgets, public notices and records requests that are easy to post, easy to find and searchable, with archives that keep old links working.
- Agendas
- Minutes
- Notices
- Records
Run by your staff
WordPress with roles for each department and hands-on training, so the clerk can post a notice in minutes without calling a developer.

Mobile first
Most residents visit on a phone, so every page is designed for one first: paying a bill, reporting a pothole or finding a meeting in a few taps.
