Government websites that survive procurement and then survive use
Public sector work has two hard parts: getting through procurement and accessibility requirements, and building something a small municipal team can actually run afterwards. Six projects for municipalities, economic development departments, and provincial programs.

Built for the launch, not for the four years after it
Public sector sites are usually procured as a project with a fixed end. The vendor delivers, the contract closes, and a communications team of two inherits a platform they did not choose and cannot change. Three years later the content is stale and the accessibility conformance the procurement demanded has quietly lapsed.
The other half is that these sites carry real service load — directories, program applications, event registration, calculators. Those are applications with a website around them, and treating them as brochure pages is where the trouble starts.
- AODA conformance met at launch, then eroded by every new page
- Small communications teams blocked by a rigid CMS
- Directories and program applications treated as static pages
- No owner for the platform once the delivery contract ends
What we build for public sector clients
Municipal departments, economic development programs, and provincially funded initiatives.
Program and department websites
Craft CMS builds structured so a two-person communications team can publish without a ticket queue.
Directories and searchable databases
Business directories and program listings people can actually filter — as we rebuilt for Tillsonburg.
Calculators and application tools
Interactive tools where the public enters data and gets a result, built as real applications with the maths documented.
AODA and WCAG 2.1 AA
Accessibility built into the work and re-checked as the site changes, not certified once and forgotten.
Ongoing operation
Hosting, patching, and changes after the project closes — the part that public sector procurement usually leaves unassigned.
Public sector clients we have actually built for
Six projects across municipal government, economic development, and provincially funded innovation programs.
The problem is what happens after the contract closes
Someone still owns it in year three
Most public sector sites decay because delivery and operation were procured as one thing and only delivery actually happened. We keep operating.
Accessibility stays conformant
AODA is an ongoing obligation, not a launch certificate. Every new page can break it, which means it needs continuous checking.
Small teams stay unblocked
A municipal communications team of two needs to publish a notice today. The CMS is built for that, and we are here when something is genuinely beyond it.
Public records deserve continuity
Program pages and directories are public infrastructure. Continuity of the team that built them is worth more than a lower first-year price.
Not just clients. Partners and friends!
The work that the Convergine team is doing is nice. I like they take such direct feedback and make quick updates. Jane and the designer are doing a fantastic job.

Questions public sector teams ask us
We build to WCAG 2.1 AA, which is the standard AODA sets for Ontario organizations. We also run accessibility audits on sites we did not build.
Yes. We have delivered for municipal departments and provincially funded programs, and we are comfortable with the documentation, scope definition, and reporting that comes with it.
We can host in Canada where residency matters. Tell us the constraint early, because it affects architecture, not just a setting.
Yes. Searchable directories, program applications, and public-facing calculators are a normal part of this work — see the emission calculator we built for PDAC.
That is the part we would rather not leave open. We stay on to host, patch, and change the site, so the platform does not become an orphan the year after launch.
