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.
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

“Exceptional service from an exceptional group!”
Zach SonnierGoogle review, 2026 “Mr clint is an amazing guy who is extremely professional and responsive, when it comes to the service he provides. His website building and promoting skills are top tier.”
nicholas mcdowellGoogle review, 2026 “We had a great experience working with BlakSheep Creative! Clint was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was always willing to help and made sure everything was taken care of. We truly appreciate his work and would definitely recommend BlakSheep Creative to anyone looking for a great website company!”
alejandra serranoGoogle review, 2026 “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.”
Christy GilfourGoogle review, 2026 “Clint and the team at Blaksheep have truly exceeded our expectations. From day one, the communication was clear, prompt, and professional. We were never left guessing where things stood. The work they've done on our website and social media presence has been outstanding.it looks great, functions seamlessly, and really captures the essence of our brand. We're so grateful to have found a team that combines creative talent with such reliability and responsiveness. We're genuinely excited to continue growing with Blaksheep and can't recommend them highly enough!"”
Brandon CurryGoogle review, 2026 “Shoutout to our IT wizard for fixing our work email and saving us all from a slow descent into chaos, carrier pigeons, and “did you get my message?” debates. He calmly swooped in, pushed some mysterious buttons only he understands, and—like magic—emails started working again. No dramatic sighs. No eye-rolling (at least not where we could see it). Just quiet competence and the subtle confidence of someone who knows we would’ve absolutely made it worse if we tried ourselves. Emails are flowing. Productivity is restored. Sanity levels have stabilized.”
Becky WardGoogle review, 2026 “I cannot RAVE and PRAISE enough about who Clint is as a person AND the amount of talent he holds. Genuine, funny, relaxed, and could not have asked for a better graphic designer to work with. When everyone else didn’t meet the expectations I needed for a really personal project, Clint exceeded above and beyond. THANK YOU to this man and the quality work he resulted me with. I will FOREVER use him in any and all design projects going forward!!!”
Megan TheriotGoogle review, 2026 ““BlakSheep Creative has completely changed how customers find my business.” Before working with Clint and the team, we were basically invisible online. Now we rank at the top of Google for all our core services — brush clearing, forestry mulching, land development — you name it. The leads we get are not just more frequent, they’re better quality. They took the time to understand our business, explained what they were doing in plain English, and followed through with results that speak for themselves. Couldn’t be happier with the service and support. If you own a service business in Livingston Parish and want to grow, this is the crew to call. – Adam Hodges Owner, Hodges Land Management Livingston, Louisiana”

The short answer
A firefighter union website has two audiences that must never see the same page. Members need the contract, meeting minutes, grievance and benefit forms, officer contacts, and notices behind a login that works from a phone at the station. The public needs to see who you are, who you endorse, what the negotiation is about, and what the local does for the community. BlakSheep is firefighter-owned, so nobody has to explain shift schedules, the CBA, or why the roster matters. We build both sides, on a site the local owns. Fixed quote in writing before we start.
