The Town seeks an experienced firm to redesign http://www.townoflysander.org, and implement
technologies to meet the objectives outlined in this document. This will be a re-design of the
existing site with current town design plans, development of new areas, and deployment of modern
technologies.
The audience of the Town’s website includes three distinct categories: (1) information for town
residents, (2) potential business and employee relocation inquiries, and (3) construction planning
and design professionals. In addition to educating and mobilizing each of our audiences, the Town
views each audience as vital to the community well-being and key users of town government
services. The town views the web-site as an integral component in carrying out its duties and
functions.
Content for the Town’s website may include general organizational information (mission, vision,
contact info, etc.), program and project overviews, news, events, events calendar, meetings calendar,
public announcements, and annual budgets and financial statements. In addition, the Town is
interested in creating a website experience with user forms and submission, and e-commerce. The
town also wants to develop new sections dedicated to business development and local history.
The redeveloped website should be easy to use, intuitive, and organized around town government
activity and services.
The Town currently uses WordPress to manage its site content and I-Power to host its web-site.
