Add-On Features

Have a question about any of the features?  Give us a call.  We love to talk about our Civic Clarity service.  248-684-8715

eNotify to Your Email or Text

People can sign up on your website to receive automatic emails from you when you post specific new content on your website. Your residents and visitors love to be kept in the loop automatically. (Used with third party service.)

Department Editors

Our standard service allows an editor access to ANY page or post. A by-page editor is restricted to specific page(s) and post categories. This feature is used when an organization needs to have separation between sections of the website.

ADA Accessibility Reviews

Following industry standards, we review your website against WCAG 2.1AA guideline errors and every attempt is made to score zero in the error category.  We also review additional benchmarks such as keyboard navigation, screen magnification experience.

Content Editing Assistance Packages

The service is intuitive to learn and most prefer to edit themselves.  But there are times when you need help.  We offer a few maintenance packages:

Hourly,  annually, and customized to your needs.

Cemetery Plot Finder & Availability

Think of the time you'll save by having a listing of available plots online! With the same database you can also create a searchable listing to help visitors find the plot location of their loved ones.

What Do Clients Say About Civic Clarity?

AccuNet worked with us to create the website design we wanted.

I had done so much ground work already with ideas on what we wanted and AccuNet helped make it all happen; plus added some of your own ideas to make it really nice.  We couldn't be more pleased with it.

We offer features you need, like calendars, document management, business directories, and search fields.

Our project managers help you organize your content for a smooth launch and can help you keep the website up to date as you need.

Civic Clarity designs for desktop and mobile screens so that your website always presents professionally.

Website backend maintenance and security is part of the Civic Clarity service.

We train & support up to two website editors so that you can edit the website on your own. We even offer department editors and maintenance packages.

Since 1996 we have offered client payment plans that are by month or year. You don't have to lock in to multi-year contracts.

Use AccuNet for Ongoing Editing Needs

10 W

Even though Civic Clarity is quite intuitive to learn, some offices appreciate out sourcing website editing.

Most edits occur within one business day.  If longer, you receive email notification of estimated time to complete.

11 W

Our standard billing is by the hour and sent out quarterly or after $50 in charges accrue.

We can do the same for you, or add a fixed editing fee to your monthly/annual invoice.  Let us know your preference.

How Quickly Can AccuNet Publish
Your New Civic Clarity Website?

While it's possible to launch in 3 weeks, most projects take closer to 12.
