We specialize in building municipal Websites Municipalities have different goals for their Websites than commercial businesses. While the municipal site should be attractive, it's more important that it be easy to navigate and full of useful information and services.
We follow Website usability guidelines We build Web sites to meet the following guidelines: • Intuitive navigation • Consistent look & feel • Pages load quickly (for residents with dial-up Internet connections) • Attractive and consistent with the character of the town • ADA Compliant (for voice Web browsers)
We build using VTH page templates Your site will be a custom graphic design to meet your objectives and town theme. But to make development less expensive, we have developed a number of page templates to help us build your site. The template approach reduces both design and build time because pictures, graphics, and text goes in pre-defined places. By using color, pictures, different navigation buttons, and unique Home pages, VTH gives each site a custom feel at an affordable price.
We make pages easy to edit We build the Web sites using an intranet program called FirstClass. This makes it possible to edit Web pages like you edit a word processing document. We even organize pages like you organize your word processing documents, with recognizable names in logically arranged folders. Think of it as "My Documents" for your website. No special technical skill or Web design software is needed.
We allow you to grow Websites over time New pages, pictures, links, and services can be added to your Web site at any time. You can start small and grow as residents ask for more from your Web site. There is no limit as to the amount of content you can load onto your site. |
