Website design and development
An economic development website has to do more than look polished. It must help site selectors verify a location quickly, give existing businesses a clear path to support, and make a complex community story easy to understand. We combine audience research, content strategy, user experience, design and development in one coordinated process.
What is included
Our process
Interview stakeholders, review analytics and identify the questions each priority audience needs answered.

Write, design and develop a distinctive experience grounded in the community's real advantages.
Test accessibility, content, forms, analytics, performance, redirects and search signals before launch.
Train staff and use post-launch evidence to refine the site over time.
