“We are building the website for our community — a digital City Hall that serves those who live, work, and play here on their terms, on any device, on any browser, at any time. If the website does not work for our community, it simply does not work.”
“We knew that we weren’t looking for just any government-hosted solution, so when we saw OpenCities, we were impressed by their built-for-government platform. They...showed us how easy it is to create an enhanced user experience within the OpenCities platform.”
“When we focused on creating a high-level user experience, it removed the barriers to entry and access for all of our users. We started to understand that when we built better online experiences using the features in OpenCities, we covered everything, including accessibility."
“We knew we wanted to provide a better user experience for our residents, but in order to do that we needed a platform that was also a better user experience for our staff. The second we started creating content with OpenCities we knew it was so much more intuitive.”
