Add-On Features

eNotification

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.

Directory for Businesses & Available Properties

Our directory allows you to showcase featured businesses, customize map icon for your color scheme, create customized categories, show Google maps, and more. You can also create a second directory of Available Properties.

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 4 maintenance packages:

Hourly, Monthly, Annually, and Documents.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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