Getting started with Self-Publishing Software is a breeze as it does not require learning any new technology or software. If you are already drafting publications with Microsoft Word, Self-Publishing Software will take care of the rest. The software adapts to your organization's preexisting workflows, allowing staff to begin using the software right away.

Here's how it works:

  1. We Convert, You Publish; 
    Whether you are upgrading an existing online publication or making the jump from print to web, we migrate all related documents and/or pages into our framework. Once online, you are free to take the reigns.
     
  2. Your Changes = Instant Ordinances; 
    As you propose changes to your online publication, these edits are tracked and redlined, allowing for automatically drafted pages or resolutions for legislators. 
     
  3. Sign, Seal & Upload by Electronic Signing; 
    Upon passage, staff digitally applies roll call votes and signs electronically. Once approved, your publication is up to date and online. 

Cost-Effective  

Legislate and Codify as little or as much as you need. As you continually change your books, there are no limitations or additional expenses. Our annual rates are fixed, not variable. This means your codification expense won’t exceed the budget.

Municode provides free support and codification training to any customer throughout the life of the agreement. Municipal staff members that receive our custom training and that self-publish develop themselves professionally and become favored by local governments throughout the country.

Why stop with your code of ordinances? Publishing additional handbooks, policies or documents is easy, cost-effective, and streamlines access to pertinent information.

3.   Sign, Seal & Codify by Email Approval 

Upon passage, staff digitally applies roll call votes. Signatures and seals are applied via email approval. Once the attestor approves, your code is current + codified!
