For townships under 3,000

A website for your township. Without it becoming your job.

Most townships this size don't have one. The phone rings anyway — when's the meeting, what did the board decide, is the road closed. We build the site that answers those questions, and we're the ones who keep it current. Not you.

See what it would cost From $39 a month. No sales call.

You answer the same questions all week

You take those calls between everything else you're doing, and most of them have the same answer every single time.

That's the job a township website is actually for. Not to look impressive — to answer the easy questions at nine on a Sunday night so they're not on your desk at nine on Monday morning.

You're not behind. Most townships are right where you are.

We went through every township under 3,000 people in six states, one by one.

3,824
of the 6,084 townships under 3,000 people in these six states have no website at all. That's about six in ten.

So this isn't a case of everyone else being ahead of you. And the ones who do have a site mostly aren't getting much out of it. We crawled 1,184 of them, close to 72,000 pages, and read 956 in full. Among the townships that do have a website:

  • < 3 in 100with an “Agendas & Minutes” page have a real system behind it. The rest is a folder of PDFs and somebody's memory.
  • 1 in 3have no contact page at all.
  • > 1 in 2have no search box.
  • 1 in 6can take a payment online.
  • 1 in 100can put an emergency notice on the homepage.

Which means you're not playing catch-up. You get to skip fifteen years of half-working PDF folders and just do it properly the first time.

What clerks ask us first

“We can't afford it.”
It's $39 to $99 a month, depending on how big your township is and how much content you have, plus a one-time $499 setup that we're waiving while we're getting started. There are no tiers and nothing is held back from a cheaper price. Tell us your budget anyway — if we can't do good work inside it, we'll say so rather than talk you into something.
“I don't have time to keep it updated.”
You're not going to. That's ours. Your account manager posts the agendas, puts up the closure notices, and makes the changes. If you ever want to do it yourself, we'll show you in an afternoon. If you'd rather never log in, you never have to.
“I'm not a computer person.”
Doesn't matter. There's no software you have to learn. You write to your account manager the same way you'd write to anybody else who does work for the township, and they take it from there.
“Our board would never approve it.”
We'll write you a one-page summary in plain language — what it costs, what it does, what it saves — made to hand around at a meeting. Bring it to your next one. It costs you nothing and we don't need to be in the room.
“We've gotten along fine without one.”
You probably have. This isn't about falling behind. It's about the calls you take twice a week, the residents who can't find the meeting time, and having one public place where the minutes go up so there's a record they went up when they should have.
“You're new. What if you go under?”
Fair question, and we'd rather you asked it. The site, everything on it, and the domain belong to your township, not to us. If we vanished tomorrow you'd keep all of it and could hand it to anybody else. We put that in the agreement in writing.

Why us

Townships only, and small ones

Not cities, counties, school districts or libraries. Under 3,000 people is the whole business, so nobody here has to ask what a supervisor does or why the cemetery records matter.

Priced for a township this size

The reason most townships your size don't have a website is that the industry's costs were built for cities. Ours aren't.

A real person. Never a robot.

One person here knows your name and your board's meeting schedule. Before a posting deadline, you hear from them. Not a chatbot, not a ticket number, not an AI assistant.

We do the work, not you

Updates, postings, notices, changes. It's our job. That's the entire point.

What it costs

Published up front, so you can work out whether it's worth a conversation.

$39 – $99/ month

Where you sit in that range comes down to how big your township is and how much content you're bringing with you. No tiers, and nothing withheld from a cheaper plan — everything we do is included either way.

Setup is a one-time $499, waived while we're getting started. No minimum contract, and your site is yours.

We're new. We'd rather just say so.

Digital Township is starting out. No wall of client logos, no page of testimonials, and we're not going to invent any — you've seen enough vendor mail to know what a made-up quote looks like.

Here's the trade, plainly. You'd be one of our first townships. You won't be account 4,312 in somebody's ticket system, you'll be working with the same small team every time, and what we build next gets shaped by what your township actually needs, because there's nobody ahead of you in line.

If you'd rather wait until we have a hundred townships behind us, we understand. We'll still be here.

What this actually takes from you

Start to finish, a couple of hours of your time.

  1. A short form

    Ten minutes. You don't need to know what you want yet.

  2. We put together a plan and a fixed price

    Plus the one-pager for your board, if you want it.

  3. You send us what you've got

    A filing cabinet, a Facebook page, a box of PDFs, a Word document from 2015 — whatever exists. If nothing exists, that's fine too. We've started from nothing before.

  4. We build it

    Your total involvement is a couple of hours, mostly answering questions and looking at a draft. Weeks, not the better part of a year.

  5. It goes live and stays our job

    That's when your account manager starts, and that's the part that actually matters.

Start with a message

No pressure, no sales sequence, and nobody ringing your hall. Tell us about your township in writing and we'll come back to you the same way.
