Grande Prairie, AB Unveils Custom-Fit City Website

Online, March 20, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Grande Prairie, Alberta unveiled a new City website earlier this month. The redesigned website - accessible at www.cityofgp.com - was created with the help of Vision Internet, an innovative leader in government website development.

The new design has transformed Grande Prairie's homepage into an information portal. Everything of importance can be accessed from the homepage. From popular search menus to dynamic news and calendar feeds to direct social networking links - it's all there, expertly designed by the Vision Team for immediate connectivity.

"With awards season just around the corner, we're excited to find out what the judges will have to say about this project," noted Tim Schmidt, Vice President of Vision Internet. "The outstanding cohesion between information and interactive design is sure to turn a few heads."

Looks aside, the website is powered by the industry-leading Vision CMS™ (www.visioninternet.com/visioncms)and boasts an impressive number of eGov services and helpful features. E-Notification allows users to subscribe to automatic email updates from the City, a dynamic calendar keeps visitors up-to-date on upcoming community events, and the Social Media Directory provides direct links to the City's 20+ affiliated social networking profiles.

While other development firms were only willing to deliver out-of-box solutions, Vision Internet worked with Grande Prairie to meet their unique needs. One example is the creation of the City's Bylaws and Policies and Procedures Directories - a major addition to the website. Complete with an alpha menu and search bar, this feature takes government transparency to the next level.

Vision Internet has been at the forefront of municipal website design for 15 plus years and a growing number of Canadian Cities are turning to the experienced Vision Team to realize their full online potential. A few of their recent Canadian launches include the City of Whitehorse, YT (www.whitehorse.ca) and the City of Thompson, MB (www.thompson.ca).
