Don't make it easy for them. That's this year's Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme, and it fits public-sector websites well. In the 2026 NASCIO-Deloitte Cybersecurity Study, 63% of state CISOs said they were not very confident that local governments and public colleges can secure public data.

Six months until the Title II web accessibility deadline. 📅

Under the U.S. Department of Justice's Title II rule, state and local government websites, apps, and documents must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000 or more people, and by April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special districts.

WebAIM's 2026 review of the top one million home pages found detectable WCAG failures on 95.9% of them. Our free audit template takes your team through keyboard, screen reader, contrast, forms, and mobile checks, built on WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Same website. A second jury. Another award.

The Teacher Retirement System of Texas website, used by more than 2 million Texas educators, retirees, and beneficiaries, has received a Silver W3 Award in the General Websites – Government – State category of the 2026 W3 Awards. The honor follows the site's WebAward from the Web Marketing Association in September, making it the second recognition this year. Congratulations to the TRS team on both honors.

Promet Source designed and developed the site on Drupal around the tasks members come to complete. Screen-reader support, keyboard navigation, and WCAG 2.1 AA as the design standard help members manage their accounts with the tools they already use. Thanks also to the Promet Source team behind the build.

Residents are asking AI first. Your content shapes the answer.

Pew Research Center found that 42% of U.S. adults use AI chatbots to search for information (February 2026). Those tools build their responses from what agencies publish, so current pages written in plain language help residents get accurate answers.

In this short clip from our AI & the Modern Web webinar, Rod Martin rewrites a dense article for a seventh-grade reader with one prompt in Drupal, then reviews the draft before it goes live.

One agency avoided a search bill nearly four times higher.

More than 53% of web traffic in 2025 was automated, according to the Thales 2026 Bad Bot Report. On one government Drupal site, Google and Bing crawled every filter combination in a library built for board members, pushing SearchStax usage to roughly 4 million requests against a 2.5 million plan. The client's team blocked search engines from that library, and usage fell to a pace of about 110,000 a month, which kept the client off a tier costing nearly four times as much 📉

John Lutz walks through the full three-month timeline in the article. See the four-step review to run before your own search migration: https://hubs.li/Q04z-5XP0

Two sentences to add to your next RFP, from Andrew Kucharski’s session at NAGW 2026:

“Describe how our agent configurations and workflow logic can be exported, and what happens to them if we terminate.”

“Describe how you identify an agent acting on a resident’s behalf, and how we would permit that rather than block it.”

Every government web team knows the queue: broken links, PDFs waiting on accessible versions, forms that stopped working. Andy’s talk shares ideas for using AI agents to help solve them.
