The website project involved months of hard work from representatives from all City departments who worked on design and functionality. The site was tested by staff and citizens to help make the system usable and understandable. The new website incorporates comments and feedback. The City is excited to bring this improved tool to the public. While much work has been done, the new website is easily updated and flexible to the communication needs of the City and our citizens. We expect and hope to take feedback and continually make the site better. The go-live day is just the beginning.
The site was designed by aha Consulting, a local Lake Oswego company with clients in 15 states. aHa Consulting utilizes Drupal to develop its products. From the Drupal website: "Drupal is an open source content management platform powering millions of websites and applications. It’s built, used, and supported by an active and diverse community of people around the world."
