Local Government Web site Program


University Students creating Websites for local units of government!
Thanks to a collaborative effort between the Michigan Department of Information Technology's Office of Technology Partnerships, the Michigan Township Association, the Michigan Municipal League and several state universities, more and more Michigan municipalities are now online with their own Web sites.

University students and professors work in collaboration with their assigned local unit of government to develop each Web site at no cost. The program is a win for everyone, allowing the students to showcase and apply their talents, giving the local units of government their desired Web presence, and affording constituents with a new and more convenient way to obtain information.

Local units of government creating their own Web sites!

Michigan Department of Information Technology's Office of Technology Partnerships now has a "Local Government Web Development Template" available for local units of government to use to create a Web site.

The template allows municipalities to independently construct and maintain their  own Web sites on their time schedule. This template can easily be populated and managed by a non-technical individual with minimal knowledge of Web design. 

The pages are already built out and ready to be populated with personalized information. The Web site can be customized by choosing a background, changing the font style and/or color, adding pictures and more!!

The template includes a "Before Using Template" document, which clarifies what tools are needed to use the template to create a Web site, and a detailed "Instructions" document on how to populate the template.

To use the template you will need to have Adobe Dreamweaver software.
