Who we serve Public radio and TV
Websites for public radio and TV stations.
Listeners come to hear the live stream, check the schedule and find a program they missed.
Wrenfield Community Radio is fictional, an example site by LFW.
What residents come to do.
The stream plays on every page, and the newsroom publishes all day. Both have to keep working while the site changes around them.
Listen live
The stream on every page, with a player that works by keyboard and with a screen reader.
Schedule
What is on now, today’s schedule and the week ahead.
Programs and episodes
A page for each program, with episodes, hosts and transcripts.
Local news
Stories from your newsroom, published fast and found in search.

Public inspection file

A site you made, kept
A site you make yourself in your browser is already built, so there is no setup fee: Care starts the month you keep it.
Projects, at a fixed price
An accessibility audit and fix plan is $3,500; a district rebuild is $9,500. Larger scopes and RFPs are quoted in writing.
