New website launch for County of Northern Lights
The County of Northern Lights is excited to announce the February 6th launch of its modernized municipal website! The project includes the consolidation of the recreational, tourism and event content from the Explore County of Northern Lights website. This consolidation proved to be a cost-effective solution and aided in easier website management.
Upanup, a Canadian company specializing in digital solutions and user experience (UX) for governments and utility providers across Canada and the United States, was awarded the project. The County's Economic Development and Community Services department worked diligently to convert content to the new website and oversee the project's progress.
The updated website boasts modern features, including a refreshed interface, streamlined features, mobile-device compatibility, and improved accessibility features such as translation and screen-reader support. Additionally, it is scalable to integrate future e-governance needs and technological advancements, which is a welcome feature for staff who were unable to make changes and updates on areas of the previous website as the internal structure was no longer supported.
The website project was completed on time and within the allocated budget.
