Geary County tourism office proposes CivicPlus 26 ultimate redesign, cites 3 4 month launch window
Summary
Martel Cinto, CDB director, asked the meeting to consider a CivicPlus redesign of the county—s tourism/department website and showed updated promotional backdrops and a three-panel trade-show booth.
Martel Cinto, CDB director, told the meeting that the department is proposing a redesign of its tourism/department website and has received pricing and a timeline estimate from CivicPlus.
"Hi. Good morning. Martel Cinto, CDB director, and, here to talk about the potential of the website redesign for our department," Cinto said. She said the county—s site is overdue for a refresh and that CivicPlus produced two quotes: a premium redesign option and a higher-tier "ultimate" option. Cinto relayed the vendor—s cost descriptions as presented: a premium package priced in the transcript as "$1,111,200 dollars" and an ultimate redesign figure presented in the transcript as "13,600." She also said the vendor cited annual maintenance fees in the range indicated in the vendor materials (the transcript lists amounts of "3,069 or 4,003").
Cinto said the county could "cherry pick" features from other government sites CivicPlus had built and that CivicPlus anticipates a three- to four-month development and launch schedule. "It does take somewhere between 3 and 4 months to get it all done and launch it," she said, and staff argued that beginning the project now would allow the county to have a refreshed site in place for activities planned for 2026.
Staff also presented updated promotional materials for trade shows. Cinto said the backdrop change was limited to font choices tied to the county branding purchase and that CivicPlus designers would collaborate with county staff on look-and-feel. She described a three-panel display that serves as a travel case and includes a monitor for rotating images tailored to specific events (for example, spa/hair-salon images for a women—s fair or fishing images for outdoor travel shows).
Staff asked whether additional approval was required for the backdrop and said they had emailed samples to colleagues for review. The discussion included logistical points about booth setup (tables, monitor placement and storage) and how the panels would be updated with new graphics as needed.
No formal motion or vote on the CivicPlus contract or the backdrop was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
