Web Design & Development

Firefighter Union Website Design by a Dues-Paying Member.

A member on shift needs the overtime language, and the contract is buried in a group text from two years ago. When negotiations go public, residents search the local and find a broken site, so someone else sets the message. We build a members-only portal for the station and a public side officers can update.

  • The members-only side is the real site: the contract, minutes, forms, and notices, behind a login that works from a phone on shift.
  • The public side is a communications tool for endorsements, negotiations, and the community, and it needs to be updated by an officer in minutes, not by a vendor in weeks.
  • The local owns the site, the domain, and every login, so it survives an election and the next executive board.

What keeps the phone quiet

Why most union websites go quiet after the first year.

The contract is a PDF in an email

A member on shift needs to check the overtime language. The CBA is in a group text from two years ago, or on a shared drive with three older versions. The site has a photo of the executive board and nothing behind a login.

Nobody can update it

The member who built the site got promoted and moved on. The endorsements page still shows the last election. Every notice waits for a vendor ticket, so the notices go on social media and the site is forgotten.

The public side says nothing in a fight

Contract negotiations turn public. Residents search the local’s name and find a broken site from 2019. The message that day comes from whoever else published one.

“Clint and BlakSheep created a top quality website, quickly at an incredible value literally putting my little startup project on the map. I can’t thank the team enough!”

What you get

Built to book the job.

Members-only portal

Login from a phone. The current CBA and past agreements, meeting minutes, bylaws, grievance and benefit forms that route to the right officer, notices, and an events calendar. Role-based access for officers, stewards, and members.

The public side

Who the local is, leadership, endorsements, negotiation updates, press, community events, and how to reach the right officer. Written for residents, media, and elected officials. Union communications and marketing

Endorsements and campaigns

A page per election cycle with endorsed candidates, why, and how members and the public can help, updated by an officer without code.

Notices that reach the station

Post once and send it by email or text to the membership. With Grow, the build fee is waived and inquiries from members or the public get a text back within seconds.

Secure and owned by the local

Encrypted connection, backups, security monitoring, and hosting month to month with no contract. The domain and every login belong to the local, not to the member who set it up.

Department sites and the public side of the job

If the department itself needs a website and the member systems behind it, that is its own build. Search setup and a Google Business Profile for the local are included with every plan; community campaigns live on the marketing side. Fire department websites

  • “Clint took my company's project much further than I ever expected. His tech experience was fantastic, but even more than that, he guided me in directions I hadn't anticipated. We hadn't planned on some of the changes he suggested, but he made it all bigger, better and bolder.”

The short answer

A firefighter union website has two audiences that must never see the same page. Members need the contract, minutes, grievance and benefit forms, and officer contacts behind a login that works from the station. The public needs to see who you are, who you endorse, and what the local does for the community. BlakSheep is firefighter-owned, so nobody has to explain shift schedules or the CBA. Fixed quote; the local owns the site.

Common questions about web design & development for firefighter unions

What should a firefighter union website include?
A members-only portal with the contract, minutes, bylaws, forms, and notices; a public side with leadership, endorsements, negotiation updates, and community work; a way to reach the right officer; and a login and editing setup an officer can run from a phone. Everything else is decoration.
Can members access the contract and forms from a phone on shift?
Yes. The portal is built phone-first because that is where members are when they need it. The current CBA, past agreements, minutes, and forms are searchable, and forms route to the right officer instead of a general inbox. Role-based access keeps officer material separate.
Who updates the site after the next election?
Whoever the new board assigns. The site is editable without code, the training and written guide transfer to the next officers, and every login belongs to the local. That is the difference between a site that survives an election and one that dies with the member who built it.
Can the site handle endorsements and political action?
Yes. A page per election cycle lists endorsed candidates, why the local endorsed them, and how members and the public can help. Officers update it without a vendor. If the local runs a PAC or a campaign, the site links to it and keeps the two clearly separate.
We also need a site for the department itself. Same project?
It can be quoted together, but it is a separate site with separate ownership. The department site and the member systems behind it, SOGs, rosters, and forms, are their own build. The local’s site belongs to the local, and the two should never share a login.
How much does a union website cost?
It depends on the size of the local and how much of the member portal you want in the first phase. You get a fixed quote in writing after a 15-minute call, good for 30 days, itemized so the executive board can vote on it. Grow waives the build fee if monthly fits the budget better.
