Six smartphones showcase city-themed app screens, featuring parks, transportation options, and tourists. Expertly crafted custom software enhances user experience with sections on city attractions, travel tips, and local experiences—all set against a muted gray background reminiscent of clockwork precision.

What we did

  • Led a multi-year engagement to plan, evaluate, design, develop, and coach City staff through a complete overhaul of their online presence
  • Recommended, implemented, and integrated a new content management system and hosting platform
  • Coordinated efforts across 22 departments and 3 vendor partners to look at their content through their audiences’ eyes
  • Interviewed residents, business owners, seniors, visitors, and people with accessibility issues to understand their needs and build personas
  • Established a new human-centered content strategy, guidelines, training, and governance
  • Created a resident-focused design and infrastructure to accommodate current and future needs across audiences, specifically addressing accessibility and search
  • Reorganized the content by topic area and created guidelines to ensure that content is easy to scan and understand
A webpage layout featuring sections for city updates, recent events, and city officials works like clockwork. Images of parks and city landmarks are displayed. Navigation menus include Things to Do and other city-related links, enhancing the digital solution for an improved customer experience.

Every project started with a conversation.
