Smart Alternative
In many cases, quotes from large website design 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 a very nice and extremely robust content management system for large government agencies, it is a system that is built on proprietary software. If your municipality has 50,000 to 500,000+ residents, check out CivicPlus. 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 focuses on 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 600 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, a dozen years later. Websites built by us 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 website 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 for no additional cost.
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 v5. It’s a highly customized version of WordPress, which is open and very flexible. As a matter of fact, it’s the preferred software to 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 than 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."
