A CMS Your Team Will Actually Use

As a company that specializes in web development for the public sector, we designed our content management system specifically for the teams who will use it. Create, edit, and publish accessible content with confidence. Explore the many features of our community engagement platform.

Built-in Accessibility

Government website accessibility requirements are complex. CivAll makes them simple with automatic WCAG 2.1 AA compliance built-in. Color contrast validation, alt-text requirements, heading hierarchy, and screen reader optimization are all enforced as you create—so compliance happens by default, not after the fact. Learn the best practices for government website accessibility.

Easy Visual Editor

Update a phone number and see it change instantly. As a purpose-built website builder for the public sector, we let you preview exactly what residents will see before publishing. Roll back mistakes with one click. No coding, no support ticket, no waiting.

Document Library

Manage PDFs, agendas, and minutes in one place. Automatic PDF accessibility scanning flags issues and provides remediation guidance before documents go live.

Smart Navigation & Search

Residents find what they need in two clicks or less. Strong website design relies on intuitive navigation and powerful search that finds content inside PDFs, turning your website into a self-service knowledge hub and reducing calls to your team.

Mobile-Responsive

Government website design must be mobile-first. Every page looks great on every device. Modern, responsive design that residents expect, without any extra work from your team.

Plain-Language Permissions

No confusing admin structures. Set permissions like 'Parks can edit their pages' or 'HR can publish job posts.' Your team understands it instantly, and permissions are enforced before anyone starts building, not after effort is spent.

Accessibility Compliance

Don't Wait for an Audit to Find Problems

Other platforms let you publish non-compliant content, then charge for remediation. CivAll blocks accessibility issues before they go live.

New ADA Title II Deadlines:
April 26, 2027 (50K+) · April 26, 2028 (under 50K)

DOJ extended the original April 2026 deadline by a year — but WCAG 2.1 AA is still the standard, and residents are filing accessibility complaints every week. Penalties still reach $150,000. CivSites is available now, with compliance built in from day one.

For the full breakdown of who must comply and what content is covered, read everything to know about the April 2027 website accessibility deadline.

What Is WCAG 2.1 AA and Why Does It Matter?

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the accessibility standard the Department of Justice has adopted for government websites under ADA Title II. Noncompliance is a legal liability, with penalties up to $150,000. CivSites builds WCAG 2.1 AA checks into the publishing workflow, so problems are caught before content goes live, not after a complaint is filed.

ADA Title II Compliance Deadlines

April 26, 2027 for government entities with a population of 50,000 or more. April 26, 2028 for entities under 50,000 and all special district governments. The deadlines cover websites, mobile apps, and documents published online. CivSites meets WCAG 2.1 AA out of the box for content published through the platform.
