Pricing for public agencies

A fixed-price build, then one annual plan for hosting and upkeep. One accountable contact, from the first call through launch and every update after it.

What it costs

Annual care plan

From $3,600/year

Hosting, updates and unlimited content updates after launch, invoiced once per fiscal year. Price depends on the size of the agency and how many boards and departments post to the site.

Ask about the care plan

What the care plan covers

  • Hosting

    Your site runs on Cloudflare's global network, with automatic TLS so every page loads over HTTPS.

  • Updates

    Weekly dependency audits, with security fixes applied as they're released.

  • Accessibility checks

    Every release is scanned against WCAG 2.2 AA with an automated tool before it goes live, and the live site is scanned weekly, with dated records kept.

  • Content updates, unlimited

    Send agendas, minutes, notices, news posts, photos or staff changes. We post them within one business day, and urgent public-safety notices the same day.

  • Version history

    Every version of the site is kept, and any earlier version can be put back live in minutes.

New pages, sections or features are quoted separately at a fixed price.

How a build works

  1. 01

    Scope and quote

    Send your RFP or a short description of the site you need. You get a firm, fixed quote for that scope.

  2. 02

    Kickoff

    We gather your content, photos and answers. Work is delivered remotely, with on-site visits available for kickoffs and council presentations.

  3. 03

    Design and build

    You approve the design, then review the whole site on a private preview link before anything goes live.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Your site goes live and the care plan begins.

Timeline

Most sites go live within a month of kickoff. The schedule depends mostly on how quickly content, photos and answers come back from your team, so a site that needs a lot of its current information checked takes longer.

Purchasing terms

The build is invoiced in two parts: half when you approve the design, half at launch. No deposit. The care plan is invoiced once per fiscal year, so it fits an annual budget line. Monthly or quarterly billing is available on request.

Common questions

  • Who owns the site?

    Your agency owns its content, data, domain and design. You also get a perpetual, royalty-free license to run and modify the site's source code, and a full copy of that code at handoff or if the care plan ends. Storm Digital keeps ownership of the shared platform the site is built on.

  • Who will we work with?

    One accountable contact, from the first call through launch and every update after it.
