Make every regulation easy to find and follow
Give citizens one ADA-compliant place to find, read, and follow the regulations that affect them, published straight from your rulemaking workflows.
Close the loop between what government creates and what citizens can access. Regulations don't just get approved — they become public portals people can actually find, read, and follow, with ADA compliance built in, not bolted on.
ADA-compliant public-facing portals
Built to accessible patterns from the start — keyboard navigation, screen-reader landmarks, contrast and text that scales — not remediated after launch.
Version history and change notifications
Every published version stays available with the changes between them on the record, so anyone can see what the rule said on a given date.
Citizen subscription alerts for regulation changes
People follow the chapters that affect them and hear about changes when they happen, instead of checking a page that may not have moved in a year.
Accessible navigation and plain-language support
Browsable the way the code is organized — title, chapter, section — with plain-language framing beside the legal text.
Seamless publish from Esper Rulemaking workflow
Publication runs from the adopted text itself — portal, register entry, accessible PDF and data feed all come from that source, not a re-keyed copy.
Search indexing for public regulatory discovery
Pages are structured so search engines can index them and people can find a regulation by searching the thing they need, not the citation.
Purpose-built and proven for government agencies
SOC 2 Compliant
Designed around government procurement, security requirements, and the non-negotiables of public-sector data handling.
Compounds Over Time
Every workflow, every decision, every published regulation deepens the intelligence. The platform gets more valuable the longer you run it.
Built for Complexity
Complex hierarchies, mandatory review cycles, multi-stakeholder approvals, public-facing publication — all handled natively.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Esper’s Publication module?
Esper’s Publication module is a cloud-based publishing platform that helps government agencies post and manage policies, codes, and regulations online. It ensures that the public and staff have access to the most current versions in a searchable, ADA-compliant, and mobile-friendly format.
How does Esper simplify the publication process?
Instead of manually uploading or re-formatting documents, Esper automatically publishes finalized policies and rules from within the policymaking or rulemaking modules. This reduces errors, saves time, and guarantees consistency across all public-facing sites.
Can Esper host both public and internal policy libraries?
Yes. Agencies can maintain public-facing portals for citizens and internal policy libraries for staff, both searchable and version-controlled. This ensures that employees and the public always access the correct, most recent policy version.
How does accessibility work in practice?
The portal is generated from structured text rather than uploaded documents, which is what makes accessible output possible: real headings and landmarks for screen readers, keyboard navigation, contrast and text scaling that hold, and downloadable documents that are tagged rather than scanned.
How do citizens keep track of changes?
Residents and businesses can subscribe to the titles or chapters that affect them and receive a notice when a new version publishes. Each notice points at the version that changed, and the previous version stays available for comparison.
