Websites for Wyoming Counties, Towns, and Local Government

Residents look up the next council meeting, a road closure, or a permit form on their phones. We build clear, accessible websites for Wyoming counties, cities, towns, and departments, so people can find what they need without calling the clerk's office.

Call 307-240-8720 or request a free website review. We will look at your current site, how hard it is to find agendas, notices, and forms, and where it falls short of WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, then tell you what we would fix first.

Who this is for

We work with small public offices where one or two people keep the website going between everything else on their plate:

  • County commissions, clerks, treasurers, assessors, and county departments
  • City and town councils, mayors' offices, and town clerks
  • Public works, parks and recreation, libraries, fairgrounds, and other departments
  • Boards, joint powers boards, and special districts that need a simple public-facing site

A lot of local government sites in Wyoming grew one page at a time. The meeting packet is three clicks deep, the contact page is out of date, and the forms are scanned PDFs nobody can fill in on a phone. We fix that.

What local government websites need

Before we design anything, we check your site against the things residents and staff actually use:

  • Meeting schedule, agendas, and minutes posted in the same place every time, newest first, with an archive
  • Public notices and special-meeting notices on one page with a date on every post. Wyoming's Public Meetings Act requires notice of a special meeting at least eight hours ahead, stating the time, place, and business (W.S. 16-4-404). The Act doesn't require a website, but a website is the easiest place for residents to find those notices.
  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility for pages, documents, and forms (more on the deadlines below)
  • Department pages with hours, phone numbers, and the forms each office handles
  • Alerts for road closures, burn bans, water notices, and office closures, shown at the top of the site
  • Online forms and payments linked to the systems you already use, clearly labeled
  • A .gov domain, so residents know the site is official
  • A phone-friendly layout, because that's how most people will look you up

The accessibility deadline, in plain terms

On April 24, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice published a rule under Title II of the ADA that adopts WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the technical standard for state and local government websites and mobile apps. On April 20, 2026, DOJ pushed the compliance dates back one year (ADA.gov fact sheet; Federal Register):

  • Population of 50,000 or more: comply by April 26, 2027
  • Population under 50,000, and special district governments: comply by April 26, 2028

For context, Census estimates put Fremont County at about 39,700 people, and Casper and Natrona County above 50,000 (Census QuickFacts; Wyoming Economic Analysis Division). Check your own entity's population under the rule's definition, and talk to your attorney about how the rule applies to you. We build to WCAG 2.1 AA and can show you how each page and form was checked. We are not your legal counsel.

What we build

A typical local government build includes:

  • A clean home page with the next meeting, current notices, and alerts right at the top
  • An agenda and minutes section your clerk can update in a couple of minutes, with a searchable archive
  • Department pages using one consistent layout, so residents always know where to look
  • Accessible HTML pages instead of scanned PDFs where it makes sense, and tagged, readable PDFs where you need them
  • Clear links to your existing online payment, permit, or utility billing systems
  • An alert banner staff can turn on and off without calling anyone
  • Help moving to a .gov domain. Eligible U.S. counties, cities, towns, and tribal governments can get one free through CISA at get.gov. The request is verified through Login.gov, and the review usually takes about 10 business days (get.gov FAQ).
  • Basic local search setup so "[town] town hall" or "[county] clerk" leads to the right page and Google Business Profile

Easy to update after handoff

Staff turnover happens. The site has to outlast the person who set it up.

  • Simple posting: Your clerk adds an agenda by filling in a date and title and uploading the file. It appears in the right list automatically.
  • Accessibility built into the templates: Headings, link text, color contrast, and form labels are handled by the templates, so new posts stay accessible without extra work.
  • A short written guide for the five or six tasks staff do every week, plus a recorded walkthrough.
  • Separate logins for each department if you want them, so parks can update parks without touching the council page.
  • You own it: the domain, hosting account, and content stay in your organization's name.
  • Ongoing help if you want it: we can handle updates and spot checks, or step back once your team is comfortable.

Process

How we work

1

Review

We go through your current site, documents, and forms, run accessibility checks, and list what residents look for most. You get a plain-English report.

2

Plan

We agree on the page structure, which departments get their own pages, and how agendas, minutes, notices, and alerts will be posted.

3

Build

We design and build the site to WCAG 2.1 AA, move your content over, clean up or replace the worst PDFs, and set up forms and links.

4

Launch

We go live, set up redirects from old links, help with the .gov move if you are making one, and train staff.

5

Support

We check in after launch, fix anything staff run into, and recheck accessibility as new content is added.

We put things in writing and keep you informed, which helps when the website comes up at a public meeting.

Proof

Proof from our public portfolio

Our published results so far come from local business websites, not government sites. We build every site the same way: clear structure, fast on phones, and easy to act on.

We don't invent case studies or results. When we finish government work and have permission to share it, we'll add it here.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does the DOJ accessibility rule apply to our small town?

The Title II rule covers state and local government entities of all sizes. Smaller entities have more time. Under the April 2026 extension, entities with a population under 50,000, and special district governments, must comply by April 26, 2028, and entities of 50,000 or more by April 26, 2027. Please confirm with your attorney how it applies to your entity.

What standard does our website have to meet?

The DOJ rule uses WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That covers things like text alternatives for images, color contrast, keyboard navigation, form labels, and documents that screen readers can read. We build to that standard and document how pages were checked.

Do our PDFs count?

Generally, yes. The rule covers web content, including documents you post, with some limited exceptions such as certain archived content. We help you decide what to convert into accessible web pages, what to fix, and what to move to a clearly marked archive.

Can you help us get a .gov domain?

Yes. Eligible U.S. counties, cities, towns, and tribal governments can get a .gov domain free through CISA at get.gov. An authorized official requests it after verifying their identity with Login.gov. We help with the request, then handle the redirects and email changes so nothing breaks.

Can our clerk post agendas and minutes without calling you?

Yes. That is the main goal. Posting an agenda takes a date, a title, and a file. We train your staff and leave a written guide so the next person can pick it up too.

Have you built websites for other Wyoming governments?

Not yet, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our public work so far is for local businesses like Day Concrete and Spare Me Car Keys. We bring the same approach: plain structure, fast on phones, and a clear path to what people need.
