Hard Truth About Government Contracts Nobody Likes to Say Out Loud
A shocking number of government agencies are still running critical programs on outdated, slow, and inaccessible websites.
Not because they don’t have funding.Not because web development is “too complex.”
But because website development is treated as an afterthought in many government contracts until something breaks, a compliance issue shows up, or citizens start complaining.
Here’s what often gets missed • Accessibility (WCAG) baked in from day one• Security and scalability planning• Clear ownership after launch (who maintains this?)• Websites built for users, not just procurement checkboxes
In government contracting, a website isn’t “just a website.”It’s a public service tool, a compliance risk, and sometimes the first point of trust between citizens and an agency.
💬 Curious to hear from this community:
  • Have you seen government web projects fail after award?
  • What’s the biggest mistake agencies make when scoping web development?
  • Should website projects be treated more like infrastructure than marketing?
Let’s talk real experiences not theory.
