Town Web
Town Web builds and hosts websites for cities, towns, villages, and other local governments, and says its service is exclusively for this sector. Its municipal content system covers agendas, minutes, ordinances, resolutions, events, contacts, news, forms, and permits. Residents can subscribe to email or text notices about posted information, while municipalities can offer online payments for bills, taxes, citations, licenses, and permits. Additional tools support boating permits and facility bookings; optional Facebook posting may add a charge. Town Web also offers municipal email through Google Workspace. The company says its service includes monitoring, HTTPS certificates, separate-cloud-server backups, and accessibility maintenance. Existing site content and files are included in migration, alongside support, one-on-one training, webinars, and a dedicated account manager. An iOS and Android app is included for medium municipalities with 10,000–50,000 residents. Pricing starts at $99/mo, with the exact quote varying by municipality and features. A nominal one-time build fee applies and may be spread over the contract term; optional add-ons are priced separately.
