Secure Communication with Every User, Every Time

Our municipal websites allow your users to tailor the news and notifications they receive to their interests. In moments, they can opt-in to messages and announcements from whichever municipal departments they prefer. Then, they will only receive relevant info – no more inboxes cluttered with unread municipal mail. 

You can opt for alerts to appear on different parts of your website. This functionality is great for reminders about deadlines or announcements about construction and detours. In addition, you can send notifications to all your subscribers with just a few clicks for emergencies. Your Town Web dashboard makes sending alerts quick and intuitive.  

Some companies ignore accessibility. At Town Web, we build every website from the ground up to comply with Section 508 and ADA enforcement. As a result, every user in your jurisdiction will experience a fully functional site that gets them the information they need every time. 

Trust is paramount between municipalities and their residents. Your data will be safe with our Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. Every website we build runs on HTTPS, providing an added layer of protection for sensitive communications and documents. Furthermore, you'll boost your Google search rankings, ensuring you're the trusted source for information on your municipality.

We Know What Makes Great Municipal Website Design

Well-organized municipal websites are the most effective means of communication between a municipality and its citizens. Your users want info on local job postings, trash collection, agendas, event schedules, etc. – all things that a disorganized site can bury. For example, Glen Cove, NY, had an unfocused, untidy site that Town Web redesigned. Now, the residents can find all the information they need in as few clicks as possible. 

The most effective way to make a website more navigable is to use icons that are easy to interpret. Intuitive visual cues allow us to remove text from the page, making it look clean and organized. Furthermore, without so many words to distract the user, the pictures you include will effectively illustrate the unique character of your community.   

The antiquated website of Colts Neck, NJ, obscured the town's remarkable history and character. So town Web collaborated with administrators to develop a clean, intuitive interface that allows the authentic feel of Colts Neck to greet every visitor. The new site is user-friendly, well organized, and visually striking. 

‍Lake Ozark, MO, wanted to modernize their website. Their old version was not responsive or accessible to all users. Furthermore, the cookie-cutter design seemed cramped and dull. Our redesign favors a bold, open approach that feels much less cluttered. We also included a series of images that capture the Lake Ozark lifestyle. As a result, the residents and administrators both think that the municipal website is much improved and preserves the community's unique character.
