City's Website to be Upgraded

Fairhope, Alabama

Community Relations Coordinator Sherry Sullivan said a company has been chosen from 5 bidders to update the city's website to provide better site navigation and interactivity with the public.

Sullivan: "We have issues with our website (now) ... not easy to navigate and not much interactivity."

Sullivan said when implemented (in 15-20 weeks) the public will be better able to track information of interest and Department Heads will be able to directly post relevant information themselves. The site will be be mobile-device friendly as well.

Vision Quest, a company specializing in government website design will be paid $35,000 for the work, according to Sullivan.

(Publisher's Note: Sullivan also announced that citizens may now pay utility bills freom the website -- using the link on the lower left corner of the home page.

I agree, it does need an update. It has always been complicated to find things. But did she say $35,000 to a California web agency? It would be nice to keep the business local. I can think of several well qualified firms. What happened?
