Avon reviews proposed town website redesign with Revize; launch targeted late May
Summary
Library Director and IT Committee Chair Glenn Grube presented a Revize website redesign targeting late May or early June, emphasizing ADA accessibility, mobile responsiveness, event calendar integration, and modest five-year cost savings.
The Avon Town Council reviewed a proposed sitemap and design for a town website overhaul on April 3. Glenn Grube, Library Director and chair of the Town IT Committee, said the vendor Revize has proposed a mobile-responsive, ADA-compliant site with a target launch in late May or early June and projected five-year savings of roughly $3,000 compared with the current contract.
Councilors discussed calendar and event posting procedures, who will maintain event listings, linking to department-hosted pages (for example the assessor), and use of Constant Contact for email distribution. Mr. Grube said staff will ask for quick feedback so Revize can begin building and migrating content. He noted a five-year support agreement and a free redesign at the end of the term. Council members asked for a prominent Quick Link for subscribing to different town notifications and for clearer "About Avon" content describing town government structure.
