DIT - Local Government Web site Program

University students and professors work in collaboration with their assigned local unit of government to develop each Web site at no cost. The program is a win for everyone, allowing the students to showcase and apply their talents, giving the local units of government their desired Web presence, and affording constituents with a new and more convenient way to obtain information.

Local units of government creating their own Web sites!
Michigan Department of Information Technology's Office of Technology Partnerships now has a "Local Government Web Development Template" available for local units of government to use to create a Web site.

The template allows municipalities to independently construct and maintain their own Web sites on their time schedule. This template can easily be populated and managed by a non-technical individual with minimal knowledge of Web design.

The pages are already built out and ready to be populated with personalized information. The Web site can be customized by choosing a background, changing the font style and/or color, adding pictures and more!!

The template includes a "Before Using Template" document, which clarifies what tools are needed to use the template to create a Web site, and a detailed "Instructions" document on how to populate the template.

To use the template you will need to have Adobe Dreamweaver software.
