County highway board approves website redesign to meet ADA requirements, estimates $14,700–$19,300
Summary
The LaSalle County Highway Department approved contracting MCS Advertising to redesign its website in WordPress to achieve ADA compliance; staff estimated the work will take about 10 weeks and cost between $14,700 and $19,300 depending on the scope.
The LaSalle County Highway Department approved a website redesign intended to bring the department's site into compliance with ADA accessibility features.
Staff told the board that the current website software cannot fully support accessibility features such as text-to-speech and hover-read functions and that a redesign in WordPress would be the best path forward. MCS Advertising — which previously assisted the Highway Department and the Treasurer's office — proposed a staged payment plan and estimated the redesign would take about 10 weeks and cost between $14,700 and $19,300 depending on the work required. The board approved the recommendation and the staged payment approach.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about timing and scope; staff said actual cost depends on the amount of work required to migrate and rebuild features. The meeting record does not include a detailed scope-of-work or a final contract document; those details will be developed in follow-up procurement paperwork.
