Government
Government websites built for public trust.
KWALL designs and builds websites for state and local government agencies that need to meet ADA Title II accessibility requirements, serve diverse public audiences, and scale across multiple departments or service portals. Our senior US-based team has delivered civic platforms on Drupal and WordPress since 2008.

WHAT WE BUILD
Civic platforms that work for everyone.
Government websites have to serve the full public: residents with disabilities, users on slow connections, people whose first language is not English, and constituents who need to find critical services quickly. KWALL builds platforms that meet those obligations while giving internal teams the tools to manage content without technical bottlenecks.
01 · AGENCY SITES
City, county, and state agency design and development.
Multi-department and multi-agency site architectures on Drupal and WordPress with government-grade security hardening.
02 · SERVICE PORTALS
Resident-facing portals and service finders.
Designed for clarity, accessible by default, built to handle real public demand.
03 · MULTI-AGENCY
Accorbis: one dashboard for a network of government sites.
04 · SECURITY
Government-grade hardening.
ADA TITLE II
ADA Title II compliance before the deadline.
The DOJ’s ADA Title II rule sets clear WCAG 2.2 AA requirements for state and local government websites. KWALL has a deep accessibility practice covering technical remediation, VPAT documentation, and editor training. We have helped government clients meet these standards on aggressive timelines, including agencies that reached compliance ahead of their required dates.
- WCAG 2.2 AA conformance audits and gap analysis
- ADA Title II remediation for existing government sites
- Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) documentation
- Accessible PDF and document remediation guidance
- Staff training on producing accessible content in the CMS
- Ongoing accessibility monitoring as part of a retainer program
SCALE AND SECURITY
Infrastructure that handles public demand.
Government sites can face sudden spikes in traffic during emergencies, elections, and public announcements. They also carry a public trust obligation around data security. KWALL builds on managed hosting platforms, including Pantheon and Acquia, and uses our Accorbis platform where agencies need to manage multiple sites from a single administration layer without duplicating infrastructure costs.
- High-traffic architecture and performance optimization
- Managed hosting on Pantheon and Acquia with government security posture
- Accorbis for one-click site deployment and centralized network management
- Role-based access control for multi-department content teams
- Disaster recovery planning and uptime monitoring

FAQ
Questions worth asking.
Does KWALL have experience building government websites?
Yes. KWALL has built websites for state and local government agencies, including civic platforms that met ADA Title II accessibility requirements. Government and public-sector work is one of our core verticals alongside higher education and enterprise.
Can you help our agency meet ADA Title II requirements?
Yes. KWALL’s accessibility practice covers WCAG 2.2 AA conformance audits, full technical remediation, VPAT documentation, and content editor training. We can work with your team to close compliance gaps in an existing site or build a new site to standard from the ground up.
Which CMS do you recommend for a government website?
Drupal is frequently the right choice for government because of its granular permissions system, strong security track record, and multisite capabilities. WordPress is also a valid option for agencies with simpler content structures and smaller teams. KWALL recommends based on your agency’s size, content complexity, and internal capacity, not on platform preference.
Can one platform manage websites for multiple departments or agencies?
Yes. KWALL’s Accorbis platform is designed for exactly this use case. It allows a central administrator to deploy new sites with a single click and manage a network of sites from one dashboard, while individual departments or agencies control their own content. It handles high traffic, complex integrations, and user management at scale.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for government websites?
Yes. KWALL’s ongoing programs retainers cover managed hosting, security updates, performance monitoring, accessibility auditing, and content support. Government agencies benefit from having a dedicated team on retainer rather than managing a roster of short-term contractors.
