Website Content Management System and Redesign Main City and BCPA Websites CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NO. 7F FOR COUNCIL: March 28, 2016 SUBJECT: Consideration of approving a contract with Vision Internet (a limited source service provider) to Upgrade Existing City Website Content Management System and Redesign Main City and BCPA Websites RECOMMENDATION/MOTION: That Council approve a contract with Vision Internet (a limited source provider), for $49,500, be executed to Upgrade the City’s existing Vision Internet website content management system (CMS) and redesign the main City (www.cityblm.org) and BCPA (www.artsblooming.org) websites. STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: Goal 1. Financially Sound City Providing Quality Basic Services STRATEGIC PLAN SIGNIFICANCE: Objective 1c. Engaged residents that are well informed and involved in an open governance process BACKGROUND: The City’s current website was originally implemented in August of 2011 (after a competitive RFP process), during which Vision Internet was selected from a pool of seven (7) vendors. Council approved the original website design and implementation contract during the April 11, 2011 meeting. The contract allowed staff to partner with Vision Internet, a company focused on designing specialized websites for the local government sector, to design new websites for both the City of Bloomington main site and the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA). Staff has been satisfied with the Vision Internet partnership. As our existing website environment is built on the Vision Internet CMS, they are a limited source vendor for this service. As such, staff is seeking Council approval to extend the existing contract with Vision Internet allowing for upgrade of the existing CMS and redesigning our sites to take advantage of new functionality provided within the new CMS. The new websites went live in August, 2011. Staff was impressed with project management, design and implementation skillset of the Vision Internet team. The result of the project has been a highly functional website that is also visually pleasing and presents a good image for the City. The Vision Internet content management system (CMS) has also allowed easy modification of web content by staff members throughout all City departments, while also providing online tools designed to help City staff communicate and engage with our citizens. A website is typically refreshed, or redesigned, approximately every four (4) years in order to maintain a fresh look and feel while also adding functionality and technology that has become available within those four years. Staff is requesting approval to engage Vision Internet to redesign the City of Bloomington main website, redesign the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA) website and to upgrade the existing CMS environment within which both websites exist. The fact that the current site exists within the current Vision Internet CMS environment, uniquely positions Vision Internet to be able to provide an efficient, cost effective upgrade and redesign. The upgrade/redesign proposal submitted by Vision Internet will provide complete project management for redesign and implementation; responsive design, which allows the website to detect the user’s screen resolution and automatically adjust the site for optimal display; provide both desktop and mobile users the best possible visual experience from the same website; Advanced Mega Menus, which will allow us to provide access to much more information via a single click or tap; Advanced Subsites which will allow much more creativity and design freedom between the different departmental sites with the main City website. Please see the attached “visionLive Enhancements” and “visionLive Value” documents for further information. Staff believes it necessary to upgrade the current Vision Internet CMS and redesign the City websites in order to maintain a fresh look and feel and to provide the latest technology services and outreach to our citizens. The upgrade/redesign to the BCPA website will help staff increase marketing efforts for events at the facility. After upgrade, mobile access to BCPA ticket purchases will be more intuitive, broadening the reach to more potential clients. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED: N/A FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds for the upgrade/redesign of the City’s websites arrays are included in the FY 2016 Budget under the Capital Lease - Capital Outlay Office & Computer Equipment account (40110133-72120). Stakeholders can locate this in the FY 2016 Budget Book titled “Other Funds & Capital Improvement Program” on pages 92 and 95. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration.

As a company or organisation, you create and publish content to add character to your brand, to train your employees, to attract applicants or investors and to inform journalists or the general public. You use content in different ways, involving many people inside and outside the organisation. It is becoming increasingly clear that content is no longer a question of top-down publishing, but involves conversation and commitment. Today, marketers and communication managers even use content channels to build a community. They have apps, websites, Facebook, blogs, e-books, webinars, serious games, mash-ups, podcasts, virtual learning, content curation, crowdsourcing, online video and a wide range of traditional print channels. In order to maintain a certain level of control in the ever more complex world of content, publishing, conversation, channels and technology, you need content governance. Content governance has become an indispensable tool to protect and strengthen the value of your brand and improve the operational efficiency and quality of your content.

The site for the centre (halifax.rasc.ca) and Nova East (novaeast.rasc.ca) are separate Joomla sites. These sites and associated email addresses and mailing lists are contained in a "Virtualmin" on the serverpluto.smu.ca.

  • Handleiding Wordpress
    WordPress in het Kort Een website maken met Wordpress. In minder dan één uur online! Inclusief installatie van een thema en plugins Alle rechten © 2013, Rudy Brinkman, BrinkhostDotCom, http://www.brinkhost.nl WordPress in het Kort – Pagina 1 Wat is WordPress? WordPress is een 'content management systeem' – een programma, geïnstalleerd op een webserver, waarmee u de inhoud van uw website kunt beheren. Voordelen – GPL-licentie, dus gratis te gebruiken; – zoekmachine vriendelijk (dus een betere ranking mogelijk in bijvoorbeeld Google, maar zeker niet gegarandeerd!); – goede en snelle 'scripting' (de onderliggende programmatuur) waardoor uw website ook snel functioneert (laden van een website moet snel zijn!) – de software wordt door de gebruikers erg veilig gehouden. Dit in tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld Joomla wat bekend staat als één van de meest onveilige CMS systemen maar desondanks nog steeds erg populair is; – eenvoudig en snel uw website opzetten; – eenvoudig te onderhouden; – uitbreidbaar, door de vele additionele scripts/programma's (plugins); – veel (gratis) website ontwerpen (“templates”) beschikbaar; – zeer stabiel; – groot aantal gebruikers, wereldwijd – dus veel mensen die u kunnen helpen op forums en dergelijke op het internet. Nadelen – er worden bepaalde eisen aan de hosting gesteld, waar niet elk hosting bedrijf aan kan- of wil voldoen (voor een redelijke prijs); – wilt u volledig profiteren van alle mogelijkheden dan is toch soms enige diepgaandere kennis nodig van website ontwerp en databases; – aanpasbaarheid van templates is niet altijd even goed ingeregeld en vraagt eveneens diepgaandere kennis van ontwerpen van websites. Deze handleiding In deze handleiding gaan wij geen complete instructie geven over hoe u een WordPress website maakt. De handleiding gaat uit van een installatie op onze eigen webservers, middels Installatron.
