Municipal and public-service websites

Modernize the resident journey—not just the homepage.

Evolved Designs helps public-service teams shape accessible, mobile-first websites around the tasks residents need to complete, the content staff must maintain, and the acceptance evidence procurement needs to verify.

  • Resident tasks before page counts
  • Accessibility in acceptance criteria
  • Ownership, training, and support

A measurable modernization scope

Make every requirement traceable to a resident or staff outcome.

A strong public website scope connects service discovery, plain-language content, accessibility, search, forms, integrations, security, records, staff publishing, training, and ongoing support. The result is easier to evaluate before award and easier to verify before launch.

01

Map the resident journeys

Start with permits, payments, meetings, alerts, records, applications, service requests, and contact paths—not a list of departments or templates.

02

Build access into the work

Put keyboard use, readable structure, contrast, labels, media alternatives, document strategy, and assistive-technology review into design and acceptance.

03

Leave staff in control

Define roles, approvals, content models, integrations, analytics, training, release checks, backups, recovery, and the support rhythm after launch.

Accessibility is a delivery requirement

Scope it early enough to verify it.

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Title II web rule requires state and local government web content and mobile apps to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, subject to the rule’s timelines and exceptions. Treat that as a design, content, document, procurement, testing, and governance responsibility—not a final automated scan.

From scope to verified launch

Give residents a simpler path and staff a system they can sustain.

Bring the current website, the services people struggle to reach, and the procurement constraints that matter. We can help shape discovery, requirements, implementation, migration, testing, training, and ongoing care around measurable public outcomes.
