Website development for communities and public institutions
Official websites for territorial communities and their councils, administrative service centres, schools, libraries, hospitals and other public institutions, and the services around them: online requests, a community app and chatbot and open data, built to the Ukrainian accessibility standard DSTU EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.2, and procured through Prozorro or funded by a grant.
What we build for communities and public institutions
The official website of a community
News, council decisions and documents, the officials and their reception hours, contacts and the community’s services, arranged so residents find what they came for and everything the community must publish has its place.
Websites for schools, libraries and hospitals
Sites for the institutions a community runs, built from one template with each institution’s own pages, so a school or a library publishes its news and documents without a developer.
Online services and requests
Appointments at the administrative service centre, applications, requests and complaints filed online, with status updates for the resident and every request reaching the right department.
A community app and chatbot
A mobile app or a Telegram and Viber chatbot that sends residents announcements, outage and transport schedules and news and takes their requests, fed from the same content as the website.
Open data
Budgets, contracts, registers and other data sets exported in machine-readable formats and published on the national open data portal data.gov.ua.
Accessible and secure
Pages built and tested to WCAG 2.2 AA and DSTU EN 301 549 with screen readers and keyboards, editors signing in with named accounts, and updates and backups kept up.

How we work with public bodies
Public bodies buy through Prozorro or with a grant from a donor programme, and we are open to both: a request for a commercial offer before a tender, the tender itself, or a project paid for by a grant.
The site, the domain and every account are registered to the institution, and its staff are trained to publish without us. The site is built on an open platform such as WordPress or Drupal, or in code, and the source and the documentation are handed over with it, so any future supplier can take it over.
Other kinds of website we build
Landing page development
Landing pages for launches, ad campaigns and events: one offer and one action, designed in Figma, built on Webflow, Framer or WordPress, with forms, analytics and ad tracking set up.
Business website development
Websites for small and medium-sized businesses, from a one-page business card site to a catalogue with booking: found in Google, editable by your own team, in Ukrainian and English.
Corporate website development
Corporate websites with many sections and languages, publishing by several teams, careers and news, CRM integrations, security and accessibility, on WordPress, Drupal or a headless CMS.
Online store development
Online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart, Horoshop or Magento, with LiqPay, WayForPay and monobank payments, Nova Poshta delivery, Checkbox receipts and marketplace feeds.
Website redesign
Website redesign: a review of the current site, a new design in Figma, the content moved and every old address redirected, on the same platform or a new one, with speed and search traffic measured before and after.
Website support and maintenance
Technical support for live websites: CMS and plugin updates, tested backups, uptime and security monitoring, fixes and content changes, and domain and certificate renewals, on a monthly plan with the hours on every report.
Websites for NGOs and charities
Websites for NGOs, charitable foundations and homeowners’ associations: card donations from Ukraine and from abroad, public reports, forms for volunteers and for people asking for help, and an English version for international donors.
Questions about websites for communities and public institutions
How much does a website for a community or a school cost?
It depends on the number of sections and institutions, the online services and the integrations, so the price is worked out from the scope you describe.
Can you take part in a Prozorro tender or a grant-funded project?
Yes, we are open to both: public procurement on Prozorro, where BIG TREE 108 LLC would be the bidder, and projects funded by donor programmes.
Can the site use a gov.ua domain?
Yes. A gov.ua domain is registered in the name of the public body itself, and we set up the site, the HTTPS certificate and the mail records on it.
How quickly can public sector web developers start?
When the right public sector web developer is available, the start is gated only by your interview and the NDA and IP assignment. Otherwise we run a search, which typically produces candidate profiles within two to three weeks, and nobody starts until you have said yes.
How do we hire public sector web developers through BigTree108?
Tell us the work, the seniority and the hours you need. We propose one or two people with their profiles, you interview them the way you would interview your own hire, and you sign one agreement with BIG TREE 108 LLC and receive one invoice a month.
Who owns the work they produce?
You do. Every specialist has a signed contract with BigTree108 that assigns all work product to the company, and our agreement with you assigns it onward. Code, designs and documents are delivered into your own repositories and tools, not kept where only we can change them.
