Kuzmack Suites builds clean, mobile-friendly websites for incorporated Indiana towns of roughly 200 to 10,000 residents. One developer, a fixed price, and a site your residents can actually use - on any device, with any assistive technology.
Your town hall, online - open to every resident.
Most small-town sites were built years ago on a free template or a volunteer's spare evenings. They still hold the phone number and the meeting times, but they no longer hold up.
A DIY or template site that one person knew how to edit - and that person has moved on. Agendas go stale, links break, and nobody is sure how to fix it.
Residents look up trash days, meeting times, and bill due dates on a phone. A desktop-only layout means pinching, zooming, and giving up.
Missing alt text, poor contrast, no keyboard navigation. That fails residents who rely on screen readers - and it falls short of the federal ADA standard now coming due.
One complete site built around how residents actually use it: pay a bill, find a meeting, report a problem, reach the right department.
One layout that works on a phone, a tablet, and the clerk's desktop. No separate mobile site to maintain.
A clear, prominent path to pay utilities and fees that connects to the payment vendor your town already uses. No new processor to set up.
Agendas, minutes, and a public meeting calendar in one place - posted on time and easy to find, every meeting.
Post boil-water notices, road closures, and announcements in seconds - pinned to the top of the homepage where residents look first.
A working search box plus plain-language menus built around what people came to do: Pay, Apply, Report, Request.
Every office, role, phone number, and email - kept current so residents reach the right person the first time.
Encrypted hosting ready to run on a .gov domain, so your town's site looks - and is - official and secure.
Accessibility and Indiana's open-government rules are not bolted on at the end. They are built into the structure from the first page - so compliance is the default, not a scramble.
Proper contrast, alt text, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader structure throughout - the federal standard your town is required to meet by April 26, 2028.
Publish required public notices on your own site under Indiana's online-notice provisions - and cut the recurring cost of buying space in the newspaper.
A clear, public listing of board and commission appointees - name, appointing authority, and term dates - kept current to satisfy Indiana's 2025 appointee-disclosure requirements.
Agendas, minutes, and meeting notices posted in a predictable place, supporting the public-access expectations of Indiana's Open Door Law.
A linked, easy-to-find path to your town's financial reporting on the State's Gateway portal, so budgets and spending are one click away.
A dedicated page explaining how to file a public-records request under Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, with the right contact and process spelled out.
A studio sized for a small town: one accountable developer, a price you approve up front, and a way to hire without a drawn-out bid process.
Based right here in Michiana, working with Indiana towns. You deal with a real person you can call - not a ticket queue three time zones away.
The person you talk to is the person who writes the code. Nothing gets lost in a handoff between sales, project managers, and offshore teams.
You get a scoped quote before any work begins. The number you approve is the number you pay - no hourly creep, no change-order games.
Website work is a professional service. Under Indiana Code 5-22-6, a project scoped under $50,000 can typically be engaged directly, without a formal public bid - simpler for your council and your clerk.
After launch, an affordable monthly retainer keeps the site secure, updated, and accessible - so it stays compliant long after it goes live.
Typical project scope - hire direct under IC 5-22-6, no formal bid required.
Five clear steps from first conversation to a live, maintained site. You see and approve the design before a single line of code is written.
We talk through your departments, services, and the notices you publish, then map what the site needs to do.
You see the layout and review it. Nothing moves forward until you approve the look and the structure.
I build the approved design to WCAG 2.1 AA and to Indiana's open-government requirements from the start.
We migrate your existing content, connect your domain and hosting, and train your staff to keep it current.
An optional retainer keeps the site secure, updated, and accessible as your town and the rules evolve.
Tell me a little about your town and what you have now. I'll send back a clear, fixed-price scope - no obligation, no jargon.
We build to satisfy IC 5-3-5 and IC 5-14-9; your town attorney or clerk confirms which specific notices you publish. This is informational, not legal advice. References to ADA Title II, WCAG 2.1 AA, the Open Door Law (IC 5-14-1.5), Gateway (IC 5-11-1), APRA (IC 5-14-3), and IC 5-22-6 are for general informational purposes only.
