Ad Hoc’s Website Development Solution helps state and local agencies deliver fast, accessible, and user-friendly websites that make it easier for people to access essential public services. Our approach prioritizes human-centered design, modular development, and long-term maintainability. We work with agencies to audit legacy websites, understand user needs, and implement modern platforms that improve performance and accessibility while streamlining content management. Our solutions empower agencies to accelerate delivery, reduce overhead, and improve performance through high-quality digital experiences that work for everyone, on any device.

A reliable pathway to website modernization

Outdated, fragmented government websites frustrate residents, increase support costs, and make it harder for states to meet their goals. Ad Hoc provides a repeatable, structured approach to modernizing these platforms, grounded in the real needs of users and the operational constraints of state government.

Human-centered design

Our design process ensures that the final site reflects how real people seek and consume information because we begin with research and usability testing to identify top tasks, user pain points, and accessibility needs.

Modern, modular architecture

Our solutions are built for longevity, fast performance, and responsive design because we use modern frameworks and scalable infrastructure that seamlessly integrate with existing systems.

Content strategy & governance

We help agencies develop sustainable content strategies that reduce duplication, eliminate outdated information, and enable non-technical staff to update content independently using intuitive tools.

Accessibility compliance & performance

We ensure comprehensive compliance with federal and state standards by implementing and auditing sites for WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and page load speed.

Change management & enablement

We don’t just deliver a site and walk away. We train internal teams on maintenance workflows, performance monitoring, and content governance so they can sustain improvements long after launch.

Proven impact

Our work with the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) illustrates the impact of our approach:
  • 96% of users successfully completed their top task on the new website (up from 50%)
  • 98% of users reported finding the information they needed (up from 54%)
  • Task completion time dropped from 4.7 attempts to 1.2, dramatically improving usability.
By focusing on clear information architecture, mobile optimization, and user research, we helped LDAF streamline digital service delivery and reduce support burdens.
