The website platform for cities and towns

City websites your residents can actually use.

CivicCMS gives your city a fast, accessible website that your staff can run without a web team. Built and supported by Flux Labs, right here in Panama City, Florida.

  • WCAG 2.1 AA checks built in
  • One price, no add-ons
  • Local support

The ADA web deadline is April 26, 2027.

Cities and counties with 50,000 or more residents must meet WCAG 2.1 AA on their websites and posted documents. Smaller cities and special districts follow on April 26, 2028.

What the rule means

Everything in one place

Built for the clerk, the parks director and the resident on their phone.

City staff shouldn't need a web developer to post a road closure. CivicCMS keeps the tools simple and the guardrails on, so every page stays accurate and accessible.

  • Accessibility checks on every publish

    Skipped headings, vague "click here" links and documents flagged for fixing are caught before a page goes live, not after a complaint.

  • Twelve templates, your colors

    Pick a look from Classic to Coastal to Historic Main Street. Your brand color is checked for WCAG 2.1 AA contrast before it can be saved.

  • Departments, roles and approvals

    Parks edits parks. Contributors draft, editors publish. Every version is kept, which matters for public records.

  • Alerts, news and events

    A storm warning or a holiday trash change goes up as a site-wide banner in a minute, from any device.

  • Documents, meetings and forms

    Agendas, minutes, a searchable document library and online forms with payments, all in one login.

  • Service modules you switch on

    Start with trash and recycling pickup by address. Turn on more services as your city needs them.

Agendas and meetings Pilot cities 2027

Agenda packets without the PDF headaches.

Meetings and agendas are part of CivicCMS today. Our next release turns every upload into an accessible document automatically, ahead of the ADA deadline.

  • Word in, accessible out

    Upload a Word file and get a tagged PDF plus a web page version, included at no extra cost. The original is kept for records retention.

  • Search every page of every packet

    One search box covers the website, agendas, minutes and attachments. Results open the PDF at the exact page.

  • Florida-smart board notes

    Private annotations for board members, with Sunshine Law (Ch. 286) and public records (Ch. 119) rules built in as defaults.

  • Video tied to the agenda

    Captions, transcripts and draft minutes linked to each item, so residents can jump to the moment council discussed it.

Why cities switch

The big suites sell accessibility as an add-on. We include it.

Meet Bayport, our demo city.

Bayport is a made-up coastal city on the Florida Panhandle, running on CivicCMS. Click around the way a resident would: find a trash day, check an alert, search for a document.
