An economic development website has two audiences that never meet: a site selector comparing eight regions in an afternoon, and a board that wants to know whether any of them got in touch. Queantic builds the first and measures it for the second.
What you get on every site
These are not add-ons and not a tier. Every Queantic site is hosted, updated, backed by monitoring and measured, whoever it belongs to.
Included
- A WordPress site your staff can edit. News, success stories, programme pages and staff directories are posts and pages — no ticket to us to change a phone number.
- Hosting, SSL, updates and monitoring. Run by us on U.S. infrastructure, checked every five minutes, with the history public on our status page.
- Analytics with no cookie banner. Sessions, sources, pages and the real-versus-automated split, collected without profiling a single visitor.
- Your own domain. Bring the one you have, including a .gov, on any plan. SSL is issued and renewed for it automatically.
- Unlimited traffic. An announcement that goes regional does not produce an overage.
What we build for you
Quoted as named line items on the pricing sheet, so your board sees what each one costs rather than a single number with a story attached. Nothing here is a switch we flip — it is work, and it is priced as work.
Built to order
- Available sites and buildings. A property listing with the fields a site selector filters on — acreage, square footage, zoning, utilities, rail and highway access — plus a map and a downloadable sheet per property.
- Incentive and programme pages. One page per programme with eligibility, the application route and who to call, written so an applicant can self-qualify before they phone you.
- Lead capture with routing. Property inquiry, general enquiry and programme application forms, spam-protected, each routed to the staff member who owns it rather than to one shared inbox.
- Business resource directory. Lenders, workforce partners, training providers and permitting contacts, filterable, maintained by your staff.
What your board sees each month
One report, in plain language, built from the same analytics the site collects as it runs. No tag manager, no sampling, and no second tool to licence.
| On the report | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Sessions, real and automated, separately | How much of the traffic in last month’s number was a person |
| Top entry pages and top exits | Which page is doing the attracting, and which one loses people |
| Property and programme page detail | Which sites and which incentives are actually being looked at |
| Form submissions by type | Property inquiries against general enquiries against applications |
| Referrers and search | Whether the site-selector directories you pay for send anyone |
| Ranked recommendations | The three changes most likely to turn visits into inquiries |
The report is one of the things we are still building to a shape a board can accept without a covering note. Ask for the current version when you ask for the quote, and judge it rather than this paragraph.
Residents and visitors are not profiled
Queantic's analytics set no cookies, store nothing in the browser, and build no cross-site identifier — so a Queantic site needs no consent banner for them, and there is no visitor profile for anyone to request, sell or leak. Traffic is separated into real and automated before it reaches a number you report. The architecture is described on how the analytics work.
Accessibility
We build to WCAG 2.1 Level AA and test every release against it: automated scans plus manual keyboard and screen-reader passes. We have not been independently audited yet, so we claim no conformance level and publish no Accessibility Conformance Report — both are in progress and neither is something to take our word for. What we do today, how we test it, and how to report a problem are on our accessibility page.
Hosting, uptime and the paperwork
Run for you
- U.S. hosting, SSL issued and renewed automatically
- WordPress, plugin and security updates are ours
- Monitored every five minutes, with a public 90-day history per component on our status page
- Unlimited traffic — a busy season is never a bill
For procurement
- Itemised one-time build and annual hosting and support
- You own the site, the content and the data; full export on request
- A written handover plan, so leaving is a procedure and not a negotiation
- The vendor packet is on our procurement page
Questions economic development offices ask
Can site selectors search the property listing the way they expect?
Yes — that is the point of building it rather than listing properties as ordinary pages. Tell us the fields your region competes on and they become the filters.
Can we see which properties are getting attention?
Yes. Page-level numbers are per property, so "nobody has opened the north parcel since March" is a thing you can say to a board with a figure behind it.
Do you have an economic development template we can look at?
Not yet, and we would rather say so than show you a mock-up. One is being built. What exists today is on our case studies page, and we will walk you through a live build on a call.
The rest — domains, editors, outages, cookie banners, pricing — are answered on the public-sector overview.
Two ways to start
Tell us what you need and we will send an itemised quote. If you already have an RFP or an ITB out, send it and we will answer it in the format you asked for — including three written quotes if that is what your policy requires.
