A complete municipal website, organized around real tasks
A TownFront website is built around two simple outcomes: residents find what they need quickly, and staff keep the site current without technical support. Everything below is included in the core product — not sold as a maze of add-ons.
For your residents
- Agendas & minutes — a clean, searchable archive of every meeting, with the newest material easy to spot. Residents can actually find the document they need.
- News & public notices — announcements organized by date and topic, plus a prominent emergency banner for the moments that matter.
- Events & meeting calendar — a community calendar residents can read at a glance on any phone.
- Documents — budgets, codes, applications, and reports organized so people don’t have to guess which department owns them.
- Forms & permits — online forms residents can complete from a phone, with clear confirmations for both sides.
- Departments & contacts — every office with its hours, people, and phone numbers where residents expect them.
- Search that works — fast, forgiving site search across pages, news, documents, and meetings.
For your staff
- Post an agenda in minutes. Simple, task-based editing tools mean any authorized staff member can publish an agenda, upload minutes, or post a notice — no training marathons.
- An admin that speaks your language. The editing screens are organized around municipal tasks — “Post an Announcement,” “Add an Agenda,” “Create an Event” — not technical jargon.
- Sensible roles and permissions. Give each department exactly the access it needs, and nothing it doesn’t.
- Safe updates. TownFront maintains the design and platform centrally. Your content — minutes, notices, staff listings, documents — is yours, and platform updates never overwrite it.
Built to a higher standard
- Fast. Optimized for excellent Core Web Vitals, so the site feels immediate even on ordinary mobile connections.
- Mobile-first. Not a compressed desktop site — a design that starts from the phone in a resident’s hand.
- Accessible. Built toward WCAG 2.2 AA: keyboard navigation, screen-reader landmarks, visible focus states, proper contrast, and accessible forms.
- Findable. Strong semantic structure and schema so search engines — and modern AI answers — understand your town’s information.
- Secure and maintainable. Standard, upgradeable WordPress architecture without plugin bloat.
