2007-ongoing
When it comes to local government, having an accessible, user-friendly website is essential for keeping the community informed and engaged. We were honored to work with the Town of Busti on their website redesign, transitioning them from a dated FrontPage setup to a modern, efficient WordPress platform.
Project Overview
Our relationship with the Town of Busti goes back to 2007, when we first helped maintain their website using Microsoft’s FrontPage program. At the time, FrontPage was a robust tool that allowed the Town Clerk to update minutes and keep residents informed. However, as technology evolved, it became clear that a more modern solution was needed to meet the growing demands of today’s digital landscape.
Enter WordPress: a powerful, flexible platform that not only allows for easy content updates but also offers a range of features that enhance the overall user experience.
Key Features
Seamless Transition to WordPress:
The primary goal of the project was to transition the site to WordPress, a platform known for its ease of use and versatility. We ensured that the Town Clerk and other staff members could quickly learn how to update and manage the site independently, making day-to-day operations smoother and more efficient.
Mobile-Ready Design:
Understanding the importance of accessibility, we designed the new site to be fully responsive and mobile-ready. This ensures that residents can access important town information, whether they’re at home on their desktop or on the go with their smartphone.
Automated Social Media Integration:
To further streamline communication, we connected the new site to a Facebook page that automatically shares posts from the website. This integration allows the town to reach a broader audience effortlessly, ensuring that important updates and announcements are quickly disseminated across multiple platforms.
Final Thoughts
The redesign of the Town of Busti’s website represents a significant step forward in their ability to serve the community. By moving to WordPress, we’ve provided the town with a modern, user-friendly site that is easy to manage and designed to keep residents informed in real-time. The mobile-ready design and social media integration further enhance the town’s online presence, making it easier than ever for residents to stay connected.
