About

Origin

Before NetCivic, there was a town that doesn't exist.

Hobart, Ohio is fictional. The infrastructure isn't. We built a municipal website, public records, a utilities commission, a volunteer fire department page, a community radio station, an animal control office. An entire system. Fifteen-plus sites that look and act like they belong to a real place.

After a while we started asking why actual small towns don't have anything like this. It's not a technology problem. Somebody just has to care enough to do it.

What NetCivic is

NetCivic provides web infrastructure to small organizations. Villages, churches, nonprofits, academic programs, neighborhood groups.

Most of these organizations have a website that someone set up at some point. It runs on something. Nobody is entirely sure what. It goes down occasionally and comes back up for reasons that are also unclear. There is no backup plan because there is no backup.

NetCivic exists to fix that.

What we provide

NetCivic architects unified systems and operates hosting infrastructure for sites and apps that need to stay online. We handle server management, deployments, backups, SSL, uptime monitoring, and web infrastructure management.

We are also developing a series of tools for civic and organizational use. These will be deployed under the /public and /gov divisions as they reach operational status.
