• Event calendar integration — Implement a fully integrated event calendar with reminders, sign-ups, and links to public meetings
• Contact and engagement tools — Build contact forms, newsletter subscription integration, social media links, stakeholder feedback surveys, and comment forms
• Accessibility and compliance — Ensure full mobile responsiveness, SEO optimization, and compliance with ADA standards and language accessibility requirements
• CMS training and editable templates — Develop staff-friendly editable templates or page builders and provide CMS training for basic updates
• Domain coordination — Collaborate with the City and project team to identify a new WDB website URL and redirect the redesigned site to the new domain

• Experience with third-party integrations (event calendars, newsletter platforms, survey tools, external meeting management platforms)
• Ability to deliver SEO-optimized site architecture from the ground up
