CITY INVITES RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN NEW WEBSITE PROJECT

For Release: May 29, 2014

The City of Saskatoon will launch new.saskatoon.ca to kick off public engagement activities for the new Saskatoon website redesign.  This site will be used as the hub to communicate about the progress of the project and to gather input from residents.

“Public involvement is key to a successful redesign of the City of Saskatoon website,” says the City’s Website Project Manager, Rob Gilhuly.  “We wanted to create an online space that provides users with the information they need to quickly get involved and participate in the website development process,” Gilhuly says.

To help build a better website, the City will be asking for feedback at multiple stages throughout the website development process. Residents will be able to participate in decisions relating to navigation, design, usability and online services.  In addition to gathering input, new.saskatoon.ca will also be revealing the new website as it’s being built.

Saskatoon.ca will be designed to provide better online service to residents.  Ensuring that residents’ needs and expectations are reflected in the final result is critical to the project’s success.

The City encourages all residents to visit the project engagement site, new.saskatoon.ca for project updates and to get involved.
