We are a web agency, powering mission driven organizations thru strategy, design, custom web development and support. Drupal and open source.
Even with AI search, users still visit websites—and expect clarity. Confusing layouts or disorganized content drive them away. Clear navigation and structured content keep users engaged, build trust, and make your site discoverable.

Biggest mistake state agencies make? Choosing web vendors for size, not gov experience. Big firms often outsource, leaving slow, low-priority sites. In gov, essentials matter: fast load times, accessibility, and clear content.

Does every content tweak to your organization's website need help from IT?

💸 If your CMS slows your team or risks security, it’s time to upgrade. Modern tools save time, protect data, and keep gov sites running smoothly.

Accessibility & security aren’t optional—they’re legal requirements. ⚖️ Gov sites need partners who prioritize WCAG, Section 508, and NIST-level security from day one, not as an afterthought. 🔒

Your comms team shouldn’t need coding skills to update your site. 💻❌ If your CMS slows updates, frustrates staff, or hurts accessibility, it’s time for a system built for modern gov workflows.

When evaluating gov web vendors, talk is cheap. ✅ Ask for examples of accessible, compliant sites & how they handle security. Past performance predicts future success—detailed case studies show who truly delivers.

Too many gov sites rely on PDFs instead of webpages. Old CMSs make publishing hard, frustrating mobile users, blocking accessibility, and burying info. If your CMS can’t handle structured content, it’s hurting usability & compliance.

Clear communication isn’t optional for gov websites. 🗣️ Your web partner should explain tech in plain language, listen, and stay responsive. Miscommunication derails projects—choose a vendor who treats communication as a core skill.

💪 More content = more powerful AI search. For gov sites, AI understands context & delivers exactly what users need—like a construction update—without endless scrolling. Better results = better UX. 🚀

AI is changing search 🔍. Users ask full questions & expect instant answers, even with typos. Your site doesn’t need to match Google—but it can start using AI to provide a better search experience.

Conversational, context based, flexible.

😟 Gov search often gives too many results, not enough answers. AI-powered search understands context, helping users find exactly what they need—like a budget update—faster. Less frustration, better UX. 💡

📚🤖 AI in Education: Skill or Shortcut? 92% of students use AI daily. Schools must guide ethical, creative use—teaching AI as a skill, not just banning it as a shortcut.

For mission-driven orgs, the “how” matters as much as the “what.” Use AI to assist, not control. Be transparent with data, monitor for bias, and ensure personalization builds trust — not manipulates it. 🌟
