Small Government Website Design

We help public entities and small government transition to modern websites built for longevity.

Websites for small government and public entities are crucial to the communities they serve and carry a unique set of challenges. When you’re organization is ready to update, Made Right Media will help you get there.

Our Process

Through years of experience helping public organizations rebuild their websites, we’ve established a proven process for achieving the best results on time and on budget.

1

Understand the Objectives and Audience

The most important things to consider at the beginning of any project are the objectives of the organization, the people using the site, and what they’re using it for. One of the common mistakes many organizations make is organizing their information based on their internal ‘department’ structure, and not what the general public might be searching for. The first step in our process involves a deep dive into the organization and its end users.

2

Create an Intuitive Content Strategy

Once we understand the organization’s objectives and audience, we can then analyze its content and devise the best way to organize it so that it’s simple to create, simple to publish, simple to find, and simple to archive. The website should be a place for information, not a point of frustration.

3

Create a Design Framework Built to Last

Next, we create a design system that is intuitive, easy on the eyes, ADA accessible, SEO friendly, and most importantly, scalable. Public websites grow and change over time, undergoing multiple staff changes, and regulation changes. Maintaining the look and feel of the website is crucial to its longevity and the organization’s ROI on rebuilding the website.

4

Migrate and Optimize Content

Unfortunately, migrating content is never as easy as ‘export/import’. Luckily, Made Right Media’s team has facilitated the transition of hundreds of pages of content edited by dozens of staff from different departments. During the migration, we ensure everything is formatted correctly for ADA accessibility, SEO best practices, and of course, usability.

5

Train the Team

Once the website is complete, Made Right Media records several screencasts showing how to perform basic tasks, and also conducts live training for any staff members managing the website. After that training, a second round of screencasts can be made for any follow up questions or tasks.

6

Support and Advise

With the project complete and the website live, Made Right Media transitions to a support role. Whether we’re helping your team take the reins, or we’re doing the updates for you, our tiered support team not only knows WordPress, but they know your particular website. We strive to ensure the website continues to serve it’s purpose for years to come.

Highlights

Transition Management

Rebuilding a public website usually means managing multiple stakeholders, large teams, stacks of information, and many years of bloat. Our team is experienced in helping manage that change. We bring an outsider’s perspective, manage expectations, and have a proven process to collaboratively move things along.

Specialists in ADA Accessible Websites

ADA accessibility for public websites is a dynamic, emerging field that is more important now than ever. Our team has extensive expertise in building ADA-accessible websites and implementing the tools available to bring sites into compliance. We also support ADA compliance for PDFs, Word Documents, and PowerPoint Presentations.

Built on WordPress

WordPress is the go-to website platform for public entities and small government because it’s powerful, familiar, open source, and widely supported. We’ve been building almost exclusively with WordPress for 10+ years.

Amazing Support You Can Rely On

Your organization needs to be confident that the website is secure, up-to-date, and able to adapt to your objectives. Made Right Media offers several options for tiered, ongoing support to ensure your team has the skills and expertise they need to update and maintain the website. US-based and readily available, you can raise a ticket, pick up the phone, or jump on a video call.

Idaho State Legislature

Made Right Media has recently been commissioned to help the Idaho State Legislature revamp its public-facing website, ensure they’re meeting ADA accessibility standards, and integrate the website with the legislature’s custom, in-house software suite.

Kind Words

(The feelings are mutual)

I hired Roger and his team at Made Right Media to completely redesign my blog and website because I knew after first meeting with him and then seeing his subsequent proposal that he was as excited about and committed to the success of my project as I was. He listened to and understood my goals for it and used his expertise to help me understand how to achieve them. He made suggestions for improving the site that would never have occurred to me. I would tell anyone who needs a highly professional redesign or other website project done that they will be very pleased with the work of Made Right Media.

I am so glad we chose to work with Made Right Media for SAGE's rebranding and new website. Roger, Chloe, and Nate really listened to us and created a fantastic new logo and online presence that not only conveys who we are and what we do, but also powers so many of the resources and benefits available to our members. Their patience with our many opinions and my many questions is appreciated, and the feedback we are receiving from our members is very positive. They were also very respectful of our budget and timelines. I highly recommend Made Right Media for anyone who needs to create or step up their organization's branding or website!

Made Right Media did a fantastic job crafting our new website and logos. They represent our school beautifully, we love how clean and easy to navigate the website is. We felt supported through the whole process... Roger and Chloe were very supportive and responsive to our feedback. They made the experience feel very smooth, and the end result is something we're excited to share with our community.

Made Right Media created our previous website and we loved it! So when we needed an updated design we knew where to go. They are excellent to work with and very professional. We feel our new site is right on trend. It will reflect to our Dealers and Manufacturers as well as other industry professionals that our agency is innovative and dynamic. In addition, we felt the fees to create the site were very reasonable and well worth it. Thank you Made Right Media!

Made Right Media got the job done very well! We have had several comments on the quality and design of our logo and website. Roger, David and Chloe are skilled at what they do and had some great creative ideas and suggestions! We are extremely pleased with our logo and website! We will continue to use them as we grow our business.

Made Right Media made us feel alright! Moving my Yoga Teacher Training online was a daunting task for me to embark upon. With the understanding and patient guidance from Roger and his team, we were up and running in even less time than I thought it would take. Timing was of the essence and they succeeding in allowing us to reach our goal. Also, the product is beautiful and easy to use and their support exceeds my expectations.

Roger and the team at Media Right Media have been exceptional at putting together everything for me, including a website, Facebook page, email, and a whole list of other things. I cannot give Roger and the folks at Made Right Media enough praise. If you are looking for a company that does a good job and is there every step of the way, Made Right Media is the company you are looking for! Thank you Roger and team for everything you have done and your continued support!
