Summary
City staff presented a redesigned enid.org website that reduced content pages from 424 to about 100, added a mobile-responsive design and a service finder, and cost about $9,000 after accounting for the maintenance portion of the prior contract.
City staff presented a redesigned City of Enid website that went live the week before the meeting, showing a mobile-responsive layout, a service-finder tool and a reconfigured navigation that staff said reflects how residents use the site.
Derek Salas, who led the project, said the previous site (last redesigned in 2020) had about 424 pages; the new site consolidates content to about 100 pages and emphasizes transactions such as utility payments, permits and trash collection schedules. Staff used community survey data and site analytics to prioritize pages; a heat map showed the top clicks on live meetings, careers and utility payments.
Salas said the gross cost of the redesign was $20,000 but that the city’s remaining maintenance-credit portion of the prior contract offset about $11,000, making the net out-of-pocket cost $9,000. He told commissioners the maintenance contract portion will continue through 2027. Elijah, the webmaster, assisted as project manager.
Commissioners praised the design, responsiveness and service focus. No formal vote was required; the presentation was informational.
