Dunwoody Launches New Website
The City of Dunwoody launched a newly redesigned and upgraded website (www.dunwoodyga.gov) to serve as the primary portal and tool for residents, businesses and visitors seeking continuous access to city information, news, events, and communications.
New Site Features Responsive Web Design, Enriched Content, Improved Navigation, and A Government Transparency Portal
Dunwoody, Ga. – December 21, 2014 – Today, the City of Dunwoody launched a newly redesigned and upgraded website (www.dunwoodyga.gov) to serve as the primary portal and tool for residents, businesses and visitors seeking continuous access to city information, news, events, and communications.
With more than 135,000 unique visits logged annually, the city sought to create a new website in which both first time users and regular visitors would quickly find the project, news and event information they came to obtain. The new site provides an innovative platform for interaction with the city through improved functionality and a more intuitively designed navigation interface.
“The city’s website is a critical tool in promoting civic engagement and outreach in an efficient and multifaceted manner,” said Dunwoody Mayor Mike Davis. “Our new site delivers as promised and is easy to navigate, supports compatibility with multiple devices and browsers, and provides our community with accurate, transparent, and easy-to-find information.
The new site introduces a transparency portal promoting open government interaction and access to city financial, business and administrative activities and documents. The new transparency portal opens all levels of municipal operations to varying inquiries and public examination, making it easier for site visitors to efficiently search and analyze budgets, meeting minutes, recommendations, projects and more. The new site also features improved technology to better support online customer services, house high quality videos, and integrate with social media tools and platforms.
“Not only is the customer-facing functionality improved, but the back end website content management system (CMS) allows staff to better address the expectations of our community for accurate, updated, and easy-to-find information on our website,” said Mayor Davis.
The city hired Jesse James Creative to develop and design the new site, the site layout and architecture. Under the direction of city staff, Jesse James Creative helped bring more information front and center for visitors with select content from interior pages and sections ‘boiled up’ to the top layers of the site to encourage exploration. Additionally, wayfinding options were developed throughout the site including “breadcrumb” navigation to “quick links” and “related content” allowing visitors easy access to city budgets, meetings and agendas, contact information for elected officials and administrative staff, as well as contracts and purchasing documents.
