With over one million online visitors a year, the Township's
websites needed to be accessible and easy for residents to use.
Upanup answered that call.
VICTORIA, BC, July 3, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Township of King, located in the
Greater Toronto Area, is a diverse
and prosperous community that is home to 29 thousand residents. Its
previous municipal website and King Township Public Library website
needed to be updated to improve content management, consistency,
navigation, and online services for the residents of this growing
community.
We now have a strong online presence,
improved searchability, and many self-serve functionalities that
lets the community connect and do business with us anytime.
The Township of King chose Upanup to create an innovative
redesign for both websites in a way that was intuitive to their
important audiences and optimized access to services. In addition
to the Township and library website, the Township has additional
websites for the Cold Creek Conservation Area and King Heritage & Cultural Centre that
required a redesign and new website creation. Upanup delivered and
ensured those websites shared common branding elements with the
Township to clearly identify they were affiliated sites.
The King Township website acts
as a central source of information for commonly used links. To
encourage users to perform as many self-service options online as
possible Upanup integrated their website with their chosen CRM
system and Forms Portal that is connected to their payment
processor, making the process simple for users and manageable for
their internal team. The improved websites have been well received
by their internal and public users. An example of efficiencies
gained for the Township is when an event needs to appear on
multiple websites, the sites are connected in a way that allows the
Township to simply update it in one spot for that change to appear
across all connected websites.
The improved King Township
website, king.ca, features include:
- Modern design
- Easy navigation
- Refreshed content
- Improved functionality
"As a municipal leader in digital transformation, King Township is pleased with the results of
its redesigned website," said Mayor Steve
Pellegrini, King Township.
"We now have a strong online presence, improved searchability, and
many self-serve functionalities that lets the community connect and
do business with us anytime. I always encourage everyone to find
all the latest and greatest content about the Township by visiting
king.ca. Our website is now easy to navigate and serves our
Township and the public the way we envisioned."
Here is a list of case studies from municipalities and utilities
that Upanup has collaborated with to offer better services for
their users. For more information visit
