Commissioners approve ProudCity website redesign and move toward .gov domain migration
Summary
Greene County IT recommended ProudCity for a redesigned, ADA-focused website (one-time fee quoted at 6,700 and first-year cost ~11,120 with ongoing annual maintenance ~4,004.20); commissioners also approved a Matrix implementation quote to migrate the county to a .gov domain to reduce spoofing risk and improve public trust.
Greene County IT told commissioners their current website provider will stop supporting the county at the end of the year and recommended hiring a vendor that builds ADA compliance into the design. IT recommended ProudCity, saying the vendor’s model delivers inclusive accessibility without requiring users to toggle features.
IT presented pricing that the transcript records as a one-time design fee of "6,700" and an estimated first-year payment of "11,120," followed by an ongoing annual maintenance figure quoted as "$4,004.20." Commissioners discussed timing — a 90-day build was quoted — and approved the ProudCity proposal. The board then considered domain migration to a .gov address and authorized Matrix to implement the change, noting the county would keep the old domain active during a year-long transition to preserve incoming mail and minimize disruptions.
IT said a .gov address reduces the risk of email spoofing and is viewed as a trusted domain by grantors and the public; commissioners approved proceeding with the migration implementation and a controlled transition plan.
