Town Web provides a robust municipal web design and hosting platform specifically built for municipalities.
 

 

Our goal is to help make Clerk-work easier, with communications and digital solutions for local municipalities!

 

 

   Smart Alternative

In many cases, quotes from large website design like and hosting companies can be laughably expensive. This is why Town Web is recommended as a smart alternative.In many cases, quotes from CivicPlus start at $15,000 and can go up from there. CivicPlus hosting can be laughably expensive. This is why Town Web is recommended as a CivicPlus alternative.

While CivicPlus offers an extremely robust content management system for large government agencies, CivicPlus reviews also point to a system that is built on proprietary software. If your municipality has 50,000 to 500,000+ residents, look at CivicPlus reviews. If you want to work with a group of people who understand your specific website needs and are fun to work with, then check out our Town Web team.CivicPlus reviews speak from larger municipalities. Town Web is focused on solving municipal problems creatively.

 

  Communication Platform

Your new website includes a Communication Platform so you can easily stay in touch with your residents. They can subscribe and receive notifications.

‍Residents simply add their email address or cell phone number and choose the topics that interest them. Your residents will get instant notifications whenever categories they’ve subscribed to have new items posted.‍‍

‍Messages are sent via email or text, so residents don’t have to go to your website to read them.

 

  Clerk Tested: Board Approved

More than 800 boards and councils have chosen and currently work with Town Web. We are their approved web design, hosting and support vendor.

When we started, more than 80 boards selected Town Web as their website provider, and they still consider that a great decision today, over 16 years later. Websites built by Town Web represent a sound investment in quality, performance and dependability. We are your low-risk, highly experienced municipal web technology partner to take you into the future.

 

  Personable Service

Municipal clerks and staff members love having Town Web as their Maine web design provider because they can rely on us for anything related to their website. All it takes is a call, email or chat message (including Facebook Messenger), and we can post or edit something on a page.

Our “white-glove” 24/7 support is like an “all-you-can-eat buffet.” You get as much as you want for a fixed price, with no surprises and no extra billing.

‍Furthermore, we take care of issues as quickly as possible, and most issues are resolved by the end of each eight-hour shift.

 

  Customized For You

Our municipal website software is called TownCMS. It has evolved over the years. The latest version is TownCMS “Juniper”. It’s a highly customized site that offers another level of simplicity, usability, speed, and security which promises extremely fast speed (for the benefit of your citizens) and a very high level of security (to the satisfaction of your IT staff).We designed a municipal CMS solution to solve the need of fewer resources and the need for consistent communication from the municipality to its residents. Project Juniper eliminates the need for municipal staff to concern themselves with tech stack and keeping it operational, but to focus on serving their community. As a matter of fact, Town Web municipal websites are the preferred Maine web design for use by municipal administrators, municipal clerks and their elected officials. We designed it to solve specific problems, such as posting minutes and agendas, which is different from websites that post blogs or articles.

‍Our goal is to make your municipal website easy for residents to find agendas, minutes and anything else they need.‍‍

‍Additionally, your website gets better over time. We constantly add new features, enhancements and updates. You get these upgrades automatically, so this site will be the last one you’ll ever need!

 

 

Town Web  made it easy for the city of Bowling Green, Missouri, to switch from CivicPlus and launch a great looking website for a lower price!

From the start, Town Web staff were “very approachable, easy to speak with,” said Linda Luebrecht, city clerk/administrator. “They just seemed to be a little quicker to respond back to you."
