ADA Title II
The ADA rule has a date for your website. Most public sites aren't ready.
Under the Department of Justice's ADA Title II rule, your website has to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. That covers the agendas, packets, forms and meeting videos you post, not just your pages. The dates may still change, but the work doesn't. Run a free check to see where your community's website stands and what to fix first.

What local governments are tired of paying for.
If you've had to explain any of these to your board, you're not alone. Here's what changes when you switch.
Renewals that only go up
Quote-only pricing, and a 3 to 5% increase built into every year of the contract. Your rate is locked for the length of your contract.
An overlay toolbar called "compliance"
The FTC ordered the biggest overlay company to pay $1 million over that claim, and a toolbar doesn't fix your PDFs. We fix your pages and PDFs themselves.
Your content held hostage
Leaving means a migration project, and years of agendas and minutes can get left behind. Your domain and your content stay yours, with a full export anytime.
One partner for your whole online front door.
You may be juggling a website vendor, an agenda tool, an alert service and a pile of PDFs nobody has time to fix. We handle all four, and they work together.
A site that fits your community.
A design made for your community, an editor your staff will actually use, and we move everything over from your current site.
Explore websitesBuilt accessible, and kept that way.
A new website from us is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Keeping the website you have? Add monitoring, PDF fixes and staff training to it.
See how it worksWhat residents call you about.
Agendas and minutes, documents, alerts, forms, payments and reservations, where residents can find them without picking up the phone.
Browse toolsTools your staff won't have to fight with.
Residents find what they came for on one website instead of five different portals, and your staff updates it all in one place. Every tool is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
Agendas & Minutes
Residents can find Tuesday's agenda, packet and video without calling you.
Document Center
Residents find the ordinance, budget or form themselves instead of asking at the front counter.
Alerts & Notify Me
Write a closure or water notice once. Residents get it by text, email and a banner on the website.
Calendar
Public meetings and community events on one calendar, without entering anything twice.
Forms
Residents apply, sign up or file a complaint online instead of printing a PDF and bringing it in.
All tools
Payments, reservations, FOIA requests and more, all included.
From first call to launch.
You keep running the office. We do the heavy lifting, including moving years of agendas, minutes and documents off your current website.
Talk
You tell us how your office works and what residents call about most.
Design
A look that fits your community, not a template with your logo swapped in.
Move
We move your pages, documents and meeting archives. Your staff doesn't retype a thing.
Launch
Your staff gets trained on day one. After launch, we keep the website updated and checked.

Questions staff ask before switching.
Short answers. Ask us anything else on a demo call.
How much does a new local government website cost?
We don't publish prices. You get one quote that covers the website and every tool, so there are no add-on modules to explain to your board. Every tool included, no per-module pricing, and your rate is locked for the length of your contract. Ask for a quote on a demo call.
What comes with a new website?
Your own design, the editor, hosting, security, backups, staff training and every tool, from agendas and minutes to FOIA requests and online payments. See every tool or how a new website works.
When does our website have to meet ADA Title II?
If your government serves 50,000 people or more, April 26, 2027. Smaller governments and special districts have until April 26, 2028. The standard is WCAG 2.1 AA, and the rule may still change. Our guide to the ADA Title II website deadlines explains what's covered and what's exempt.
Can we switch vendors without losing years of agendas and minutes?
Yes. We move your pages, documents and meeting archives, and your staff doesn't retype anything. You don't need your current vendor's help to start, though an export from them can speed things up. Your domain stays registered to you.
How long does a new website take?
It depends on how much content you have and how quickly your team can review drafts. You'll get a schedule after the first call, once we've seen your current website and how many documents and meeting archives need to move.
Do our PDFs count under the ADA rule?
Yes. The rule covers the agendas, packets and forms you post, not just your web pages. Start with the documents residents use most. Our guide to which PDFs to fix first walks through it, and a free ADA check shows where your pages stand.
See what your community's new website could look like.
A 30-minute call. We'll show you around and run a free accessibility check on your current website, so you have something concrete to take to your board.
