// Municipal websitesMunicipal websites residents can actually use
Most small-town websites are hard to read on a phone, hard to update at city hall, and hard to navigate for the residents who need them. We build modern municipal sites that put agendas, alerts, forms, and services front and center — and make your town look like a place to invest.

Accessibility expectations for local government are rising
New federal accessibility rules for state and local government web content are phasing in, with compliance dates arriving in 2026–2027 depending on population size. Building accessibility in from day one costs far less than remediating an old site later — and serves every resident better in the meantime.
A modern site is also an economic development tool. Site selectors, grant reviewers, and new residents form their first impression of your town online. Clear pages for available properties, incentives, schools, and quality of life help your town compete for investment.
Williams Digital is a Birmingham, Alabama studio working with small towns and cities across the Southeast and beyond. We design the site, migrate your content, train your staff, and host and maintain everything after launch.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a municipal website cost?
Small-town municipal sites are quoted per project based on page count, content migration, and features like alerts or online forms. Every quote is written, itemized, and fixed before work begins.
Can city staff update the site themselves?
Yes. We set up simple editing for the pages that change often — news, agendas, minutes, and alerts — and train your staff. No technical background needed.
Do you handle ADA accessibility?
We design with WCAG accessibility guidelines in mind from the start — readable contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader-friendly structure, and accessible documents guidance for staff.
Can you migrate our existing content?
Yes. We move over your pages, documents, and archives, reorganize them around how residents actually search, and set up redirects so old links keep working.
