Grand Capabilities on a Budget
Working with a tight budget to cover your community’s needs can be quite the challenge. Your community looks to you for ways to make their lives easier and for important information that will keep them safe.
What if you could foster a welcoming and collaborative community and create a more accessible and efficient government to serve your community, all while respecting your budget?
Foster a Collaborative Community
Implementing digital services creates a ripple effect throughout your city, your county, your state—your community. When you provide online services:
- You provide equitable access to city services to create a more inclusive and welcoming community.
- Residents can access streamlined processes for license applications and renewals, bill payments, and service order requests for utility repairs during outages.
- You can deliver important emergency information in the event of inclement weather, as well as be a daily source for upcoming community events to foster community involvement.
Useable Tech for Your Community
Designing a website within the confines of a taxpayer-funded budget isn’t impossible. You want to foster a welcoming and inclusive community where everyone has equal access to city services.
Most residents want to take care of bill payments online and simplify certain business activities like license applications and renewals. Knowing what your residents need online access for the most will help provide the best user experience.
Through powerful and secure eCommerce development, your residents will feel safe making payments online and be happy knowing they don’t have to make a special trip down to the courthouse to renew certain licenses.

Sell Your City
As a public servant, you have to sell your city every day. Whether attracting visitors, welcoming new businesses, or providing a sense of belonging for all who live in your community, you have to keep marketing at the front of your mind.
But governments and associations don’t call for the typical marketing strategy, do they? Plan Left will design one that delivers what you need. A solid brand is the first step to providing a sense of belonging and inclusion for your community’s residents and businesses.
Tailored, comprehensive marketing provides:
Logo Creation
A logo is your first impression with consumers. Plan Left creates unique and memorable symbols that represent your brand’s identity and values.
Flyers & Graphic Design
Design is all about visually communicating ideas. We make sure your logo, imagery, and website design truly reflect your brand.
Newsletters & Press Releases
Increase credibility, drive traffic to your website, and boost your municipality’s awareness with announcements about your city, county, state, or region.
Local SEO
The Local SEO best practices we put in place when building your website will help it appear for residents in local searches. Calendars work in tandem with the website to keep residents informed of upcoming events, and a social media strategy can increase exposure for maximum attendance and participation.
I was a bit apprehensive about switching website hosts as my past experience had been a nightmare. Plan Left made the switch seamless and has consistently ensured our site is safe and running properly. They also offered advice on design, SEO and functionality.
Highly recommend!

Augment Your Team
Most of your public service budget will already be earmarked, so hiring a full-time employee to manage all the new online service updates wouldn’t be feasible. Plan Left team augmentation fills in the blanks and provides teamwork when you need it.
Access an account manager, a systems administrator, a search marketing specialist, a paid media expert, a website developer, a designer, a branding expert, content marketers, social media specialists, software engineers, and app developers—all on a fractional basis.
You can think of it like having fractional access to a million-dollar team, even if you don’t have a million-dollar budget.

Through powerful and secure web development, Plan Left streamlines your public services and improves the quality of life for your residents.
We use cost-effective but powerful marketing tech to deliver the digital services you and your community need to thrive. Then we serve alongside you to make sure your community or association can make the most of the technology we implement.
