Web design for townships, cities, counties & libraries
Suspence Digital designs and builds accessible, mobile-friendly websites for townships, cities, counties, libraries and nonprofits in nine states. Every site meets WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard the ADA now requires of state and local government websites.
Live sites and working demos. Every one is built for phones first, works with a keyboard and screen reader, and is easy for staff to update.
A complete township site: meeting agendas and minutes with filters, legal notices with an archive, permits and forms, online bill pay, a leaf collection schedule, a staff directory and a report-a-problem form.
View the demo: Example Township →A custom site for a Harlem community congregation: live-streamed messages, an events calendar with add-to-calendar links, food pantry and volunteer pages, online giving and a day and night theme.
Visit theshiftnyc.org →A multi-page site for a pastor and community leader: a video header, a three-step booking request form, a press kit with copy-ready bios and photo downloads, an honors page and an email sign-up.
Visit jahleelspence.com →A trash-day lookup by street, snow emergency alerts, a Main Street business directory, council meetings, and water and sewer authority billing.
View the demo: Ashby Forge Borough →Live open-or-closed hours for each branch, an events calendar with sign-ups, room and pavilion booking, and daily park conditions.
View the demo: Wren Valley Library and Parks →Council agendas and meeting summaries on the homepage, a SPLOST project tracker, an open records request with a three-day due date, and municipal court lookup.
View the demo: City of Hollis Creek →Programs laid out as a route, an impact report, a donation form that shows what each gift pays for, and volunteer shift sign-ups.
View the demo: Northbound Youth Collective →Fixed-price quotes in writing, so you know the cost before work starts. Most projects come in below the amounts that require formal bidding.
Everything a township, city, county or library needs to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA requirement on the site you already have, finished well before your deadline.

$3,500 starting at
A new site built for your residents or members, with content moved over from your old one.
$100 per month, starting at
Keep the site fast, secure and accessible after launch, without hiring staff for it.
Final pricing depends on page count and how much content moves over. Quotes for townships, cities, counties and other public agencies can be sent as a written proposal for your board or council.
Need extra hands on a municipal project? Suspence Digital subcontracts accessibility remediation, content migration and page builds for agencies, under your brand and on your timeline.
If anything we build or fix fails a WCAG 2.1 AA check within 12 months of launch, we fix it at no cost. No contract to renew, no fine print.
For managers, clerks and library directors: the answers your board and attorney will ask for, before they ask.
From $750
Our standard websites, fix-ups and the ADA package are priced below the formal bidding limit in every state we serve that sets one, from Alabama's $15,000 to Pennsylvania's $24,500 and Louisiana's $60,000. Some offices may still need a few quotes.
See the limits for your state. Check your own code and purchasing policy.
Scope, fixed price and timeline on one or two pages, written for a board or council vote. We can present it at your meeting by video.
Purchase orders accepted, a W-9 on request, and invoices on net-30 terms, paid by check or ACH. Payment is split: half at the start, half at launch.
WCAG 2.1 AA for the ADA Title II rule, plus your state's open meetings and public records rules: agendas and notices posted on time, a records request page, and accessible minutes. Rules by state.
Request a quote by December 15, 2026 and we'll hold that price for any project started by June 30, 2027.
Your domain, content and code stay yours. Every site comes with written documentation, so any developer could take it over. We can also help you move to a free .gov address.
A new website usually takes four to eight weeks from the first call to launch. A fix-up takes one to two weeks.
We scan your current site and send a short report of what fails and what it would take to fix. See a sample report.
Agree on the page list, what content moves over and who on your staff will post updates.
You see the site as it's built and get two full rounds of changes.
We move the site to your domain, test it again and train your staff.
Optional monthly plan for hosting, updates and accessibility checks.
About
Suspence Digital Solutions is a web studio founded by Jay Spence in Harlem, New York.
Before building websites, Jay worked in public service and community engagement, including policy work at the Office of the Bronx Borough President and years as a community liaison at Urban Upbound. That work taught him how residents actually look for information: on their phones, in a hurry, often needing it in plain language.
Suspence Digital builds every site around those people first, then makes it simple for a small staff to keep current.
We work with local governments and libraries in nine states: Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. Most of the work happens remotely. In Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, Jay comes to you in person for the kickoff meeting and staff training; everywhere else, both happen by video. See the rules by state.
