Accessibility obligations
Public-sector sites are held to accessibility standards that commercial sites often ignore. We build to WCAG from the start rather than retrofitting after a complaint.
Government & municipal
Public-sector web work, including election night.
Government sites carry obligations commercial sites do not — accessibility, public records, and traffic that arrives all at once. We have done this work.
We already run an election site
Public election information is about the least forgiving thing on the public web. Traffic is flat for months and then concentrated into a few hours on a night when being unavailable is not an option, and the content is scrutinised by people who are already suspicious.
We do that work for the Anderson County Election Commission. If your requirement is a city site, a department page, or a public records portal, it is a smaller version of a problem we have already solved.
Small entities are normal here
A lot of vendors are built to serve large agencies and treat a small city or a single county office as an inconvenience. We are a small shop, so a small public entity is a normal-sized client — and you deal with the person doing the work rather than an account manager.
What we typically provide
- Public-facing sites that are accessible, fast, and straightforward for staff to update.
- Hosting with monitoring and backups, sized for events rather than for the quiet months.
- Email with archiving, for retention and records obligations.
- Ongoing maintenance so patching does not depend on somebody remembering.
What makes it different
Four things commercial sites can ignore.
Records and retention
Public records rules affect email and published content. Email hosting here supports archiving, so retention is a configuration rather than a scramble.
Traffic that spikes
Election nights, storm events, and public meetings produce sudden load on a site that is quiet the rest of the year. That is a capacity problem, and it is one we plan for.
Budget and procurement
Fixed scope and fixed price, quoted in a form you can take to a purchasing process. No hourly open-ended engagements.
Straight answers
What public-sector buyers ask.
Have you worked with government before?
Yes. We run public election information for the Anderson County Election Commission in Tennessee. Election sites are unusually unforgiving: the traffic is concentrated into a few hours and the content is scrutinised.
Can you meet accessibility requirements?
We build to WCAG standards — real keyboard navigation, sufficient color contrast, proper heading structure, and content that works with a screen reader. Accessibility is much cheaper designed in than bolted on.
Do you work with small towns and single departments?
Yes, and often. A small city or a single county office is a normal size of client here. You are not competing for attention with an enterprise account.
Can you handle email for a public entity?
Yes — private email hosting with archiving, which matters when messages are subject to public records requests. See email hosting for how it works.
