Home Services Municipal website
A municipal website redesign that launches accessible.
WCAG 2.2 AA from the first template, bilingual English and French delivery, and Canadian hosting under SLA. Built for Ontario municipalities in 8 to 12 weeks, not the 24-month timelines incumbents quote for the same scope.

Accessibility is the build method, not the punch list.
Most municipal redesigns treat accessibility as a retrofit: the site is designed, built, and then audited into shape. We build the other way around. The design system and every template are constructed to WCAG 2.2 AA before a single page of content moves, so accessibility never becomes a change order.
The same discipline applies to language. The information architecture is built to hold English and French from the start, so a bilingual requirement is a content task, not a rebuild.
Who this is for
- Ontario municipalities facing the AODA compliance-report deadline with a site that will not pass.
- Teams stuck in a legacy CMS whose licence, editor or vendor is the real problem.
- Buyers who need the project inside one budget year, not across three.
What the fixed price includes.
AODA-native design system
Templates and components built to WCAG 2.2 AA from day one, verified before content migration begins.
Verified content migration
Your content moved out of the legacy CMS, with every migrated page checked against the original before cutover.
Bilingual structure
English and French delivery, with an information architecture that holds both languages from launch.
Canadian hosting under SLA
Hosted in Canada with support tiers, maintenance and security updates under a service-level agreement, priced alongside the build.
A schedule agreed up front
The 8-12 week delivery plan is fixed with you before the work starts, milestone by milestone.
Documentation and handover
Staff training and full documentation at launch, so your team runs the site without calling us.
Four phases, 8 to 12 weeks.
The schedule is agreed before kickoff and reported against weekly. Accessibility verification happens in every phase, not at the end.

$45K to $75K. Here is what moves the number.
The quote is fixed in writing before work starts. Where a project lands in the band comes down to four variables.
- Page count and templates
- How many pages migrate, and how many are unique layouts rather than instances of a template.
- Migration complexity
- The state of the legacy CMS: how cleanly content exports, and how much needs restructuring on the way out.
- Integrations
- News, calendars, forms, payments and third-party systems the new site has to talk to.
- Bilingual content volume
- How much of the site ships in both English and French at launch.
A 57-page migration, verified page by page.
The closest delivered comparable to this offer is a 57-page platform migration for Stan's Heating: full content move, every page verified against the original before cutover, zero content lost.
Delivered for Leadder (leadder.io), where Gondal Tech's principal leads sales and delivery operations.
The site you are reading is the standard we build to.
gondaltech.ca is static, keyboard navigable end to end, bilingual at its core pages, and built against WCAG 2.2 AA with a published conformance statement. We hold client builds to the same bar.
Questions clerks and communications teams ask.
What does a municipal website redesign cost in Ontario?
Our band is $45K to $75K, fixed in writing before work starts. Page count, migration complexity, integrations and bilingual content volume decide where a project lands in the band.
How long does the redesign take?
8 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch, with the delivery schedule agreed before the work starts.
Can you migrate our content out of the current CMS?
Yes. Migration from the legacy CMS is part of the scope, and every migrated page is verified against the original before cutover.
Is the site accessible when it launches?
The design system and templates are built to WCAG 2.2 AA from day one, not retrofitted at the end. AODA's legal floor is WCAG 2.0 AA, so the site launches above the minimum the law requires.
Can the site be bilingual?
Yes. We deliver in English and French, and the information architecture is built to hold both languages from the start rather than bolting French on later.
Who hosts the site after launch?
We host it in Canada, with support tiers and an SLA. Documentation and staff handover are included, so you are never locked in.
One budget year. One fixed price. One launch date.
