“Government communication works best when people find what they need in two clicks, not twenty,” says Adrienne Folse.
“Our job is to translate complex information into clear, citizen-friendly digital paths.”
Expertise in Public Sector Web Design
Design the Planet is already an approved vendor with Louisiana State Government as a LaGov supplier. This means we are fully vetted to provide services to government agencies and local governments across Louisiana.
Our experience includes designing and developing websites for a wide range of government entities, each with its own special challenges. For example, we have created modern websites for parish government offices (Clerks of Court), state government licensing boards (such as the Board of Certified Public Accountants of Louisiana and the Louisiana Board of Practical Nurse Examiners), and local tourism commissions (like the Louisiana’s Sweet Spot campaign for Ascension Parish). Each project required understanding special government requirements, from providing transparent access to information for citizens to ensuring rigorous security.
Our deep knowledge of the government sector means we know how to navigate common challenges. We design with the public in mind, emphasizing clarity, reliability, and engagement. Whether it’s a local municipality’s site or a major government agency portal, we tailor our design approach to fit the government audience and goals.
Government websites often face special security requirements and must be compliant with various regulations. Design the Planet has experience optimizing information architecture for government content, making it simple for people to find what they need. We also incorporate features to boost citizen engagement – such as event calendars, news updates, and interactive tools – that encourage citizens to connect with their government online.
Comprehensive Digital Services for Government Websites
We provide end-to-end digital services for government website projects, covering everything from initial strategy to long-term support. Our offerings include:
Custom Website Design and Development
We create a unique design for each government client, aligning with their branding and the needs of the public. Our team designs intuitive layouts and navigation structures that make it easy for citizens to access information about services, pay bills, find contacts, and more. We build each website with modern technology and clean code, following best practices for security and performance in the government sector.
WordPress CMS Implementation
Most of our government sites are built on the flexible WordPress content management system (CMS) platform. Using this platform allows us to deliver a robust content management solution that non-technical staff can easily use. We customize the WordPress CMS to fit public-sector needs, setting up sections for press releases, meeting minutes, forms, and other common government content. The result is a powerful website back-end that empowers your team to update content, post news, and manage pages with ease.
Mobile-Friendly, Accessible Design
Every government website design we produce is fully responsive and tested on devices of various screen sizes. We know that many people access government sites from phones or tablets. Important features (like search or contact buttons) are placed front-and-center on smaller screens. We also prioritize ADA compliance and accessibility standards (including WCAG guidelines) in every government project. Our designers and developers implement features like text alternatives for images, keyboard navigation, proper color contrast, and readable fonts to ensure our websites are usable by people of all abilities. ADA compliance isn’t just a legal checkbox – it’s part of good customer service in the government sector.
Security
Government websites must be secure and comply with federal web standards. Design the Planet builds websites with strong security practices – from using reliable hosting and SSL encryption to following data privacy guidelines. We keep software up to date and apply security patches promptly. Additionally, we ensure compliance with relevant accessibility rules and privacy laws that must be met. Our familiarity with these requirements allows us to build solutions that meet them from day one.
Ongoing Maintenance and Support
Our job doesn’t end at launch. We continue assisting with website maintenance and support to keep your government site running smoothly for the long term. Design the Planet offers dependable post-launch maintenance plans, including regular updates, security monitoring, backups, and quick fixes whenever issues arise. If your staff encounters any problems or needs enhancements down the road, our team is just a call or email away. This ongoing partnership provides peace of mind that your critical site is in good hands. We take pride in customer success and will work hard to support you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Design the Planet work toward ADA compliance and accessibility?
Accessibility is one of our top priorities in every government project. We follow WCAG standards strictly to make sure our websites are usable by all citizens, including those who use assistive technologies. We design with sufficient color contrast, add alternative text for images, enable keyboard navigation, caption videos, and structure content with proper HTML for screen readers. By integrating accessibility from the start, we work toward full ADA compliance on launch. True ADA compliance would need to be certified by a third-party.
Will our new website be mobile-friendly and easy to use on phones?
Yes, absolutely. Every government website design we deliver is mobile-friendly and tested on devices of various sizes. We know many people prefer to use smartphones or tablets to access government services. Our team uses responsive design techniques so your content automatically adapts to different screens. Menus turn into mobile-friendly drop-downs, layouts adjust for touch input, and pages load efficiently even on cellular networks. We pay attention to user experience on smaller screens, ensuring that important features (like search or contact buttons) are front-and-center. A mobile-optimized website means you can reach more citizens and provide a positive digital experience no matter what device they use.
Do you provide ongoing support and site maintenance after launch?
Yes. Design the Planet remains a partner to your government organization even after the website is live. We offer various maintenance plans to keep your government site updated and secure. This can include regular content updates, software upgrades for the WordPress CMS, security monitoring, and backups. If you ever encounter issues or need enhancements, our support team is here to help. We pride ourselves on responsive customer support – many clients stay with us for years because they know they can count on fast, knowledgeable assistance. By handling the technical upkeep, we allow your staff to focus on serving the public while we ensure your digital infrastructure runs smoothly.
