built for your community
JEG DESIGN INC designs town and municipal websites for towns, villages and municipalities in Vermont, New York and beyond. Residents can easily find meeting agendas, minutes, videos and forms, your staff can update everything themselves, and every site is built with ADA accessibility (WCAG 2.1) in mind.
every town package includes
Every town package includes a custom home page and color scheme, document management tools for agendas, minutes and notices, YouTube channel setup for meeting videos, and Zoom training sessions plus video tutorials your staff can revisit anytime. If your town doesn’t have a logo yet, we’ll design a hand-drawn town logo with every file format you need. We’ll also walk you through the ADA requirements for archiving older documents and creating new, accessible ones so your town stays compliant.
Federal ADA rules now require town and municipal websites to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards. Every town website we build follows those guidelines: clear heading structure, alt text, strong color contrast, keyboard-friendly menus, labeled forms and accessible documents.
Please note: accessibility standards keep evolving and no website can be guaranteed 100% ADA compliant, but we follow best practices and always do our best to make your site as accessible as possible.
Yes. We can review your existing town website and fix common accessibility issues, such as missing alt text, low-contrast colors, inaccessible PDFs and menus that don’t work with a keyboard.
Yes. Our monthly ADA compliance package includes regular accessibility scans, fixes for issues we find, help making new documents accessible and keeping your accessibility statement up to date. See the details below.
Our custom document management tools keep agendas, minutes, warrants, forms and notices organized by board and year, so residents can find what they need in a click and staff can upload new documents in seconds.
Under the ADA rules, older documents can usually be kept online as archived content as long as they’re clearly marked as archived and no longer updated. Going forward, new documents need to be created and posted in an accessible format. We’ll show your staff how to archive past documents properly and how to create new agendas, minutes and forms that meet accessibility guidelines.
We set up a YouTube channel for your town’s meeting recordings and connect it to your website, so videos are easy to post, watch and find alongside the matching agenda and minutes.
Absolutely. Town websites are built in WordPress with the Elementor page builder, and we include Zoom training sessions plus video tutorials your staff can revisit whenever they need a refresher.
Yes. If your town doesn’t already have a logo, we’ll create one built around a hand-drawn local illustration, delivered in every file format you need for the website, letterhead, signs and social media.

ongoing ADA support
Accessibility isn’t a one-time project. New agendas, minutes, photos and pages get added every week, so we offer a monthly ADA compliance package to help keep your town website accessible all year long.
We scan your town website every month and send a plain-English report of anything that needs attention.
We fix the issues we find, from missing alt text and heading order to color contrast and keyboard navigation.
We help your staff archive older documents properly and make new agendas, minutes and forms accessible before they’re posted.
We keep your accessibility statement current, help respond to resident requests and answer staff questions along the way.
Please note: accessibility standards keep evolving and no website can be guaranteed 100% ADA compliant, but we follow best practices and always do our best to keep your site as accessible as possible.
