We get excited about a lot of things—new websites, our fur babies, a well-organized navigation bar—but nothing hits quite like launching a fresh .gov site for a town so close to home (hasOptimization’s hometown!). That’s why we’re extra excited to introduce the brand new Canterbury, NH website! 

Why This Launch Is a Big Deal

First off, it’s a .gov! That’s not just some fancy domain—it’s the gold standard for official government sites, meaning this site is secure, authoritative, and built to serve the community. If you’re from Canterbury (or just passing through and need some local details), this site is now your go-to resource for town happenings, municipal info, and more.

And for us this was more than just a project. Our very own Logan Snyder grew up in Canterbury and is part of the town Planning Board so contributing to this upgrade was a true honor. 

Features We Love (And You Will Too)

• A Useful Calendar  – The new calendar makes it super easy to see what’s happening in town and plan accordingly.
• Custom WordPress Theme Build – We crafted this site from the ground up, giving Canterbury exactly what it needed without the bloat of a generic template.
• Custom Post Types + Archive Templates – This was the biggie! We set up structured content so information stays organized, searchable, and actually makes sense (a true challenge in the municipal website world).
• WCAG 2.1 Compliance – Accessibility is a non-negotiable, and we ensured the site meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines so that all community members, regardless of ability, can navigate with ease.

TL;DR – This Site is Great

At the end of the day, we built something that’s not just aesthetically pleasing but is genuinely useful. Canterbury, NH now has a modern, community-driven website that makes finding local information easier than ever.So if you’re in the area (or just appreciate a nice website), give it a visit: CanterburyNH.gov. In the meantime we’ll be working on more site launches (and some redesigns of a few loyal clients) so contact us today if you are in the market for a new site!
