Description
On January 1st, 2007, Pitt Meadows became the newest city in British Columbia. Moving up from their previous status as a District, they were very proud to become The City of Pitt Meadows. To celebrate this great news, they picked April 25th - the 93rd anniversary of their original incorporation - to organize a party, a press conference and to release a flashy new website!
Selected after an extensive search, Atomic Crayon was chosen to provide a re-design for the Pitt Meadows and to implement a content management system (CMS) for them. Our work for the City included: Reviewing site architecture; Site planning; Functionality analysis; Creation of a new navigation structure; and a complete Website re-design. Professional photos were incorporated into the design, which added greatly to the site’s visual appeal. Finally, there was an enterprise-level CMS integration.
The website’s bright, attractive new design was the perfect accompaniment to the site’s wealth of improved functionality. A bevy of online services, a powerful Events calendar, and a dynamic News listing were just a few of the snazzy new functions that would aid both City staff and site visitors, alike.
This body of work was completed over a six month timeframe, with a hard deadline in place of April 26th – with the knowledge that they would be having a major press conference notifying people of their city status on that date, the website had to be in place, complete, and looking great. The site was up early and tested thoroughly, making it more than ready for the big day. The City and its constituents have been extremely happy with the site and we continue to work closely alongside Pitt Meadows on their online strategy.
