The challenge

Town council websites must serve residents, visitors, councillors, and local businesses while publishing large volumes of statutory content. Many councils needed a complete visual rebrand, clearer navigation, better accessibility compliance, and a platform that would scale over time.

What we did

We delivered bespoke websites for councils including Langport, Castle Cary, Hungerford and Shaftesbury. For Shaftesbury, we are now developing a next-generation AI-powered solution with an intelligent chatbot that learns from council content and relevant internet sources, providing faster access to answers without searching large menus.

Services: Website Development, AI Chatbot Integration, Accessibility Optimisation, Content Architecture.

Okapi transformed how residents interact with our council. The AI chatbot means people get answers instantly rather than searching through menus.
