Departments with their own front door
Police, Fire & EMS, and Economic Development each get their own space — on one platform.
Built to the standard
Easy for your team to run, and accessible by default.
Stoa hosts, secures, and maintains the platform, so staff with no technical background and no webmaster can publish a page, post news, or update a document without touching code. Every page targets WCAG 2.1 AA from the first wireframe, with full keyboard navigation, visible focus, 4.5:1 contrast, and alt text required before anything publishes. The City still owns its content, data, and design, and can export them at any time.
