Local Government Website Design
Your municipal website can be so much more than just a medium for announcements. It can be a tool—a driving force that forges bonds between residents and their governments.
At Town Web, we build sites that do more than just inform; they incentivise civic engagement, streamline operations, and elevate transparency. Think beyond the bulletin board and imagine a platform where residents can connect, access services, and stay informed—anytime, anywhere.

Benefits of a Town Web Municipal Website
Designing the perfect government website isn’t easy, but at Town Web, we’ve mastered the five key steps to make your site the best it can be. As you review these steps, check out our case study on Colts Neck, NJ, to get a feel for what we can create for you.
1. Determine Your Site’s Objectives
Every great website starts with a clear goal. What’s yours? Some local governments use their websites primarily as an information hub for residents, while others focus on fostering community engagement. Most aim for a unique balance that reflects the needs of their community.
2. Understand What Information Your Residents Want
Knowing what your residents are looking for and delivering that information efficiently is critical. Our designs are built to ensure residents can easily find the info they need, whether it's public announcements, event details, or essential services.
3. Account for Responsive Design
While some users may browse your website at their leisure on a desktop, others need quick access to information on the go. Our websites are fully responsive, adapting seamlessly to different devices and screen sizes for an optimal user experience.
4. Ensure Compliance with Accessibility Regulations
Good design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about ensuring everyone can use your site. Our websites are ADA and Section 508 compliant, offering full accessibility for users of all abilities. As regulations change, our designs will evolve to account for them.
5. Accommodate Multiple Languages
Not every resident speaks English as a first language. We integrate simple tools that allow your website to be accessible in multiple languages, helping newcomers find the information they need and feel more connected to your community.
