What it does
Public sector websites have to present a lot of information clearly: council news, upcoming events, official documents and services for residents. Townly is designed around those needs, with a refined, practical layout that helps visitors find what they came for. It is built with accessibility in mind and aims to meet WCAG standards, so residents using assistive technology can use the site too. The design is fully responsive and retina ready, so pages display properly on desktops, tablets and phones.
Page building happens in Elementor, using a drag and drop editor that needs no coding. The theme settings run on the Redux framework, and pre-made layout blocks and widgets give you a starting point you can rearrange to fit your municipality. You can match your visual identity with unlimited color schemes and Google Fonts. WPML compatibility helps if you publish in more than one language, and WooCommerce compatibility lets you add a store or payment portal for municipal services. Documentation is included.

Questions about Townly
Can I edit pages without knowing how to code?
Yes. The theme works with the Elementor page builder, which uses a drag and drop editor. You can arrange sections, add widgets and adjust layouts visually, and the pre-made layout blocks give you a starting point for common pages.
Is this theme suitable for accessibility requirements?
The theme is described as accessibility-ready and built to meet WCAG standards. That gives you an accessible foundation, though the content you add, such as images and documents, should also follow accessibility practices to keep the whole site usable.
Can my municipal site be multilingual?
Yes. Townly is compatible with WPML, so you can deliver your pages and announcements in more than one language for residents who speak different languages.
Can residents pay for services through the site?
The theme is compatible with WooCommerce, which you can use to set up an online store or a payment portal for municipal services such as fees or permits.
Is Townly free?
The code of Townly is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Townly is this?
Version 1.5, released Aug 11, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.

Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Townly automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
