The successful candidate will compare existing and new website content, identify missing information, improve content quality, and help ensure the website meets modern standards for usability, accessibility, and search engine optimization.

Understanding of SEO concepts and best practices. Familiarity with web accessibility concepts (ADA and WCAG standards). Experience with website migration or web publishing. Coursework or experience in web development, communications, user experience, or related fields. This internship is on-site in the Muskegon County IT Departments offices.

What You'll Learn: Website migration and content governance. Content management using our new CMS (dotCMS). Accessibility and usability best practices. Government website management. SEO fundamentals and content strategy. Information architecture and website organization. Real-world experience managing a large public-facing website. Schedule Approximately 8-12 hours per week.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
