They helped with the build-out of the website and provided all the training, demos, and customer support to make the process smooth and seamless from beginning to launch. We cannot thank them enough for all their hard work, advice, help, and guidance through the whole process! We look forward to our continued working relationship.

Don’t be afraid of not having a technical background to build the site and manage the site.

Sarah Brake

GovSites is a company that always exceeds our expectations. Their customer service is beyond reproach and their response to our needs is instantaneous.

Dennis Miller

Police Chief

Secaucus, NJ

I would highly recommend [this] service to other municipalities looking to update their websites with a user friendly platform that provides excellent training videos with step by step instructions for what you want to do. And if there isn’t a video – the access to customer service is phenomenal and very responsive. So far the feedback from our residents has been very positive!

Jeanne Smith

Borough Clerk

Oceanport, NJ

It was a pleasure working with SDL on the new design and launch of our Township’s website. Their support team walked us step by step through the process, explaining every detail from planning to implementation. The platform is easy to use and department staff are able to manage their own page content. I would highly recommend using SDL to update your municipal website. Your residents will thank you!

Jennifer Gander

Director of Parks & Recreation

Bernards, NJ

SDL was very accommodating and easy to work with. They understood our goal and facilitated in creating a beautiful and user-friendly website for Old Tappan. Their expertise helped us get our updated website up and running seamlessly.

Multiple Service Tiers

Our experts handle complex updates and integrations, while your in-house team takes care of routine tasks.

Complete Management

A hands-off solution where our webmasters manage everything, from updates to content management.

GovSites handles document, form, and content migration. We help reorganize, rename, and clean up outdated information, ensuring your new site is fresh and streamlined.

GovSites offers email support Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm ET, for up to three administrative users. We handle troubleshooting, “how-to” questions, password resets, and manage updates, configurations, and security for your site.

GovSites includes up to 30 municipal users, in addition to the three supported admin users, who can update specific departments or manage the entire website.

Our complete management tier offers unmetered storage and bandwidth (file size limits apply). While direct hosting of video/audio isn’t allowed, we integrate seamlessly with YouTube, Vimeo, and SoundCloud.

Websites are backed up daily, with 30 days of unique backups stored off-site. We also perform nightly incremental server backups, allowing for file or full-site restoration as needed.

Even with full management services, users can handle urgent updates. Both admin and municipal users have access to a complete training series and quick “how-to” videos for easy updates.

GovSites integrates seamlessly with the SDL software suite. Municipalities using SDL Portal can allow residents to log in and complete portal-based requests directly from the website.

GovSites includes a base subscription to the Userway.com ADA widget. Municipalities can upgrade through Userway, and we’ll handle the technical installation at no extra cost.

We provide same-day email support, Monday-Friday, for most requests received before 3pm ET.

Admin users can schedule a how-to session with a webmaster via an easy online tool. Simply choose a time, and a Zoom meeting will be created.

GovSites offers ongoing technical webmaster services after launch, including page additions, basic redesigns, integrations, and other non-routine updates.

We continue to support your website’s growth post-launch, adding new pages, reformatting content, and providing consultative design as your municipality expands.

Set automated reminders for departments to review and update content, including key items like budgets or annual statements.

A hands-off approach where our team handles same-day content updates, calendar management, document uploads, news updates, and page content changes.
