Web Design and Development for Government and Public Sector
Government and public sector websites serve everyone. That means they need to be accessible, easy to navigate, and built to meet compliance standards without looking like they were designed in 2009. Striped Horse builds government websites that serve citizens effectively, reflect institutional credibility, and hold up under the demands of public-facing digital services.
We work with government agencies, municipalities, public institutions, and public sector organizations that need a website as reliable and trustworthy as the work they do.

What We Do for Government Organizations
Most government websites are built around technical requirements and departmental needs, not the people who actually use them. The result is sites that are hard to navigate, visually outdated, and increasingly non-compliant with accessibility standards that are now legally required. Striped Horse builds government websites that meet compliance requirements and look like they belong in 2026, because public sector organizations deserve both.

Government websites do not have to look dated to be compliant. We build sites that meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA and ADA requirements from the ground up while looking and functioning like a website built in 2026, not 2009.
Government websites serve everyone from first-time visitors to frequent users completing routine tasks. We design information architecture and user flows around real citizen needs, making it easy to find services, complete forms, and get answers without frustration.
Government projects involve multiple departments, layers of approval, and diverse audiences. We manage that complexity without losing sight of the end goal, a website that works for the people it serves.
We come from a marketing background and it shows. Every layout, every user flow, and every call to action is built to help citizens find what they need and take action quickly.
Fluent across WordPress, Webflow, Drupal, and more. For government organizations Drupal and WordPress are the most common choices due to their flexibility, security, and content management capabilities. We recommend what fits your organization, not what is easiest for us.
We stick around after go-live with ongoing support for content updates, compliance audits, new service pages, and anything else your organization needs as policies and services evolve.
Why Government Organizations Choose Striped Horse
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"They're great in every category, and not only the work they do is great, but they are very accommodating and communicative. I was very fortunate to have Danielle leading the web development team-- it was no easy task to take over a year-long project along with a bunch of new devs to work with into a working product in less than two months' time. One of the challenging project-wise for our university website project and she got the team doing good work and managed to get where we need to be. I will continue to work with her!"
"They helped to make our website redesign a success. Danielle was a very quick communicator and patient with our team throughout the entire process. She was knowledgeable and always able to clearly answer my (many!) questions. Our team is very happy with the outcome of our new website. I would recommend Striped Horse to anyone looking for web design services."
I can't say enough good things about working with the Striped Horse team in designing a new website for our Center at Stanford. They were fantastic -- really responsive, creative and solutions-oriented, hard-working and on-the-ball in all aspects of managing and executing a complex project like this. Their rates are quite reasonable given the incredible value you get from the work. And the outcomes are terrific - they created a great-looking, user-friendly site designed to optimize for our goals. My strong recommendation is: do not delay, and try to get the Striped Horse team to work with you on your project! You can't do better, and you won't regret it.
