Public input sought for C-K website redesign

As it kicks off the first redesign of its website in a decade, the Municipality of Chatham-Kent has launched a survey to find out what users would like to see.

Known as [refresh] CK, the project aims to create a website that is “Reliable, Efficient, Functional, Relevant, Engaging, Simple and Helpful.”

Distroscale

“Part of our commitment to open and transparent government is to share information and to encourage communication with our residents,” said chief administrative officer Don Shropshire in a release. “Having a website that does that is essential to our efforts.”

Amy Wilcox, manager of corporate initiatives, said preliminary work is underway to make the website useful for residents and others, as well as fully compliant under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, which takes full effect for the public sector in 2021.

“A lot has changed in community engagement, and we need to make the most effective use possible of all of our resources,” she said. “The website is our electronic front door to the world, and we want to be useful and informative.”

Users can provide their thoughts through a survey on letstalkchatham-kent.ca/ through to the end of February.

That information will be provided to the information technology services and corporate communications departments that are overseeing the project.

It is expected that the new site will be functional by this fall.
