The website of a commune or an inter-municipal body carries different constraints from a commercial one. It addresses every resident, including those navigating by keyboard, through a magnifier or with a screen reader, and it falls under precise duties on accessibility and publication. It also has to be updatable by a front office with plenty of other work. Publishing a council decision or a school canteen menu should take under five minutes and no call to a supplier.
Three demands shape this kind of project: accessibility that genuinely works, information clear to the resident, and an admin the staff can use without permanent retraining.
Design and build to RGAA 4.1, criterion by criterion checking, keyboard navigation, contrast, subtitles and transcripts for council recordings. You receive the audit report and the accessibility statement ready to publish.
Opening hours, department contacts, council minutes, decisions, planning documents, news and alerts. The structure follows what residents ask, not the organisation chart of the authority.
Forms for school enrolment, hall booking or reporting a problem, with attachments and case tracking. FranceConnect is wired in where the resident has to be identified.
A space for acts subject to publication, for deliberations and for current consultations, plus datasets exposed in a reusable format where the authority is required to do so.
Simple templates, an editor that blocks the moves which break accessibility, rights by department and a mobile preview. The front office publishes alone, including at five on a Friday.
Hosting with a French provider, backups and monitoring. We supply the technical material you need for your tender file and for depositing invoices on Chorus Pro.
The pace follows the authority: committee approval, the meeting calendar, the availability of departments. We cut the work into lots so each stage can be presented and approved.
A census of the services to put online, the duties that apply and the existing content worth keeping or dropping.
Wireframes checked against accessibility criteria before build, because a contrast fault mended on a wireframe costs a hundred times less than later.
Templates, procedures, migration of content and existing addresses, trials with real assistive software.
Final RGAA check, drafting of the accessibility statement and the multi-year plan, staff training, go live.
Accessibility cannot be bolted on at the end. A site designed without it forces you back into the style guide, the templates and sometimes the way content was typed in the first place. Carried from the wireframe stage it costs almost nothing extra and helps everyone: subtitles serve a noisy bus as well, and a sound heading order helps a screen reader and a search engine alike.
We prepare it from the audit result, with the conformity rate, the list of known failures and the contact and appeal arrangements. The authority publishes it under its own responsibility and refreshes it after every significant change to the site.
Not always. An audit separates what can be mended in the theme and the content from what stems from a foundation that is simply too old. Where more than half the criteria fail for structural reasons, rebuilding costs less than a run of patches. You get both figures before deciding.
Yes. We answer electronic consultations and supply the technical documents expected, including the accessibility and hosting sections. Invoices are then deposited on Chorus Pro under the rules of your entity.
That is the whole purpose of the admin. The editor limits risky formatting, demands alternative text on every image and flags an inaccessible PDF. We train staff on their own content and leave a short reminder sheet, because conformity is mostly lost through daily publishing.
On servers located in France, with a provider such as OVHcloud or Scaleway, with encrypted backups and a GDPR processing agreement. The processing activities are described so they can be copied into your register, and your data protection officer receives the technical documentation.
Describe the services to put online and the state of the current site. We propose a scope, a schedule and the papers useful to your tender.

Nothing here under that name. Check the spelling, or simply choose the nearest large city instead. Since every engagement runs remotely, whichever you pick changes nothing about what we do for you.
