The Challenge

Fairport Harbor is a small village on the shores of Lake Erie in northeastern Ohio. Like many villages its size, it had a website that had fallen behind. The existing site was not mobile-friendly, difficult for staff to update, and did not give residents a reliable central hub for government information and resources.

With a small government team and a limited budget, Fairport Harbor needed a solution that would deliver a professional online presence without the cost or complexity of a custom development project.

The Solution

Fairport Harbor partnered with Munibit to build a modern, mobile-friendly municipal website. The new site established a clear, organized home for village government information, with accessible resources for residents including documents, contact information, and community updates. Munibit handled setup and design so village staff could focus on other important matters.

The Outcome

• Modern, mobile-friendly website that works on any device

• Accessible resource hub for residents with clear navigation

• Document management for agendas, minutes, and village records

• ADA-supportive design built to WCAG 2.1 AA standards

• Professional online presence on a small village budget

• Staff can manage updates without developer involvement
