City and Township Web Design
Responsive and Accessible Web Design compliant with WCAG and AODA including top notch Security, Search Engine Optimization and ongoing Support
We build websites for cities, townships, municipalities, ministries and other official organizations that need to be compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Proven to hundreds of clients in an always evolving field, we get chosen time and time again because of our security, technology, skill, referrals, support and experience of over 20 years. We're here for you even after the website is launched so you can rest easy knowing you have a web team always behind you for support or new developments.
DESIGN
Tell us your vision and let us create exactly what you're looking for. If you can think of it, we can build it.
We highly recommend clients take a look at websites they love the look and feel of so we can take inspiration and build the design that works best for you. We're a full development studio that isn't limited by any past designs so the design and layout of your new website can be anything you want. We're also able to suggest ideas and mockups if you need a bit of help! All of our websites are responsive which means they adapt to every screen size your users are on to deliver the best viewing experience on devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops.
SUPPORT
Ongoing support that's always available to help even after launching your website
Think of us as your extended web team that you don't have to pay a salary for! You essentially get a department of experts that can answer questions or even help with making changes. We never charge for simple things that only take a minute or two. If there's ever an issue, give us a shout; if someone needs a bit of training on how to manage the website, give us a shout; if you have any questions at all, please give us a shout! You can even contact us well after launch to add custom features to your website whether that's months or even years later.
With our website from Miramar, it is easy for our staff to navigate the pages to add and edit anything we need to include or remove. Our office was provided with step by step instructions for each feature of our page, which you can also find under the help section when you are editing, which is very helpful. When you edit or add anything to the website it posts it immediately, which is great as our website can be edited several times a day.
Our Township office was looking for a fast an easy way to provide information to our residents and we found that with Miramar.

ACCESSIBILITY
Accessibility is an extremely important aspect of websites that is commonly overlooked.
Can every user of your site find the information they need and are you compliant with Web Accessibility legislation?
Changes in legislation require websites to be accessible. For example, in Ontario your site and its content must follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) as required by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
The goal is to make web content more accessible to people who have disabilities. This may include improving contrast of colours for readability or using proper tags that will allow links, text, images and other media forms to be effectively described to a user. Web development that is accessible also benefits those that you might not think it is intended for such as any person who has a hard time reading flashy text with funky colours.
We have extensive experience in making accessible websites and we tend to work with WCAG 2.1 Level AAA while other developers/designers may stick with the bare minimum they can get away with, assuming they are even knowledgeable about accessibility requirements.
SECURITY
Enterprise level software/hardware, 24/7 monitoring and constantly updated security improvements.
Everything we use and create is state of the art and continually updated. Technology never rests and neither do we. Stay confident knowing that your data is private, backed up and secure with a team behind you to help if any issues should arise.
