Built for local government

Made for the people who actually run town websites.

Town and village clerks. Administrators and managers. Mayors, supervisors, boards, and department heads. TownFront is designed around your real work — agendas, minutes, notices, documents, forms, meetings, and the residents who depend on them.

The problem

Most municipal websites quietly become a burden.

Hard to update

Posting an agenda or updating office hours shouldn’t require a support ticket or a technical specialist. On many town websites, it does.

Hard for residents

When residents can’t find the form, meeting notice, or phone number they need, they call town hall — and staff answer the same questions all day.

Expensive to keep

Traditional municipal platforms can carry big price tags, long contracts, and slow change requests — even as the site drifts further out of date.

The TownFront approach

Your website is the modern front door to your community.

TownFront combines modern web technology with a deep focus on how local government actually works. The result is a website that welcomes residents, answers their questions, and stays current without demanding technical expertise from your staff.

Built specifically for small and midsize towns, villages, boroughs, and townships — not scaled down from big-city software.

Capabilities

Everything a municipal website should do.

Presented as outcomes, because that’s what matters.

Agendas & minutes

Post an agenda in minutes, and give residents a clear archive they can actually search.

News & notices

Announcements and public notices that reach residents where they are — including an emergency banner when it matters.

Documents

Residents can actually find the document they need, without digging through folder mazes.

Forms & permits

Online forms residents can submit from a phone — with clear confirmations for everyone.

Departments & contacts

Every department, board, and office with the hours, people, and phone numbers residents look for.

Events & meetings

A community calendar and meeting schedule that stays current and easy to read.

Search that works

Fast, forgiving site search, because residents shouldn’t need to know your org chart.

Accessibility

Built toward WCAG 2.2 AA so every resident can use the site — keyboard, screen reader, or phone.

Mobile first

Works beautifully on every phone, because that’s how most residents will visit.

Why TownFront

A different kind of municipal website partner.
