The Borough Website Problem

Boroughs are the Goldilocks of local government—not too big, not too small. You have a full-time manager, a part-time code enforcement officer, and a volunteer fire company that runs on coffee and stubbornness. Your website should be just right, too.

But let's be real. Most borough websites look like they were built by someone's cousin who "knew HTML" in 2004. The calendars are empty. The meeting minutes are PDFs from 2018. And the mayor's bio still says "serving since 2002" even though they retired three years ago.

Common Borough Website Fails
  • ❌ No mobile optimization: 60%+ of residents visit on phones
  • ❌ Broken search: Find anything? Good luck.
  • ❌ No online forms: Everything requires printing and mailing
  • ❌ Outdated content: Announcements from 2019 still on the homepage
What We Fix
  • ✅ Mobile-first design: Works beautifully on every screen
  • ✅ Search that works: Find anything in 0.3 seconds
  • ✅ Online forms & payments: Permits, taxes, fines—all online
  • ✅ Fresh content: We train you to keep it current

Borough Web Development Services We Offer

We know boroughs have tight budgets, lean staff, and big expectations from residents. That's why our services are designed specifically for you.

  • Borough-specific templates: Pre-built for tax collection, garbage schedules, and council minutes. No need to reinvent the wheel.
  • Mobile app integration: Let citizens report potholes, barking dogs, or downed trees with a photo and GPS pin.
  • Online bill pay: For taxes, fines, and permits—because checks are so 1992.
  • Staff training: We'll teach your clerk how to update the site without breaking it. We promise.
  • ADA compliance: We build sites that are accessible to everyone—including screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.
  • Local hosting: Our servers are right here in Central PA. Faster load times, better support.
  • Security audits: We lock down your site so hackers go somewhere else.
  • Emergency notification: Built-in alert system for boil water advisories, road closures, and severe weather.

We've seen borough websites with "click here for PDF" links that go to 404s. We've seen forms that don't send emails. We've seen flash animations in 2024. We're not here to judge. We're here to fix it.

Borough CMS That Even the Borough Secretary Can Use

The number one reason borough websites go stale is that updating them is too complicated. Borough secretaries and administrative assistants are busy people. They don't have time to learn HTML or wrestle with a clunky backend.

So we built a CMS for boroughs that's actually easy to use. Here's how it works:

  • WordPress-based but simplified: We strip out the confusing stuff and leave just what you need.
  • One-click updates: Add a meeting agenda, post a public notice, or update a board member's bio in under 60 seconds.
  • Drag-and-drop: Rearrange your homepage like you're organizing a filing cabinet. No coding required.
  • Training included: We spend a full day with your staff (in-person or virtual) walking through every feature. You'll be a pro by lunch.
Pro tip: We also set up an editorial calendar so you know exactly what to post and when. No more "what should we put on the website?" panic.

We've trained borough staff from 22 to 72 years old. We've trained people who use Facebook but don't know what a "browser" is. We've trained people who still use AOL. We can train anyone.

Don't let another year go by with a subpar borough website.

We build borough sites that work, apps that engage, and CMS that anyone can use. Let's get started.
