The City of Wentzville chose The Net Impact for their web design and development to create an innovative web marketing solution – powered by Auctori:city™, a content management system specifically tailored to cities.  From there, Wentzville was able to further customize their site to meet their needs.

Diana has been working at Wentzville since 2008.  The city’s web site was filled with useful information but difficult to navigate through. Updating the website wasn’t easy and because Wentzville was dependant on a developer to make the changes, it was also costly.
In 2009, Wentzville conducted an online survey to determine what features their residents wanted on the city’s website; the results determined residents wanted the website to be more capable of conducting city business online with easy, online access to city codes and records.

The City of Wentzville wanted their website to serve as the principal source of information for residents, businesses and visitors.

“The website is to serve as a portal to connect with citizenry, support our community’s merchants, businesses, and activities, and bring the people of Wentzville closer to each other and their government.”
Wentzville City Administrator, Diana Wright

With the help of The Net Impact, Wentzville’s administrative team and department heads were able to collaborate and develop the new website’s architecture.  The partnership resulted in the site including more location specific photography and greater citizen connectivity tools such as the option to sign- up for notifications on page updates, an interactive calendar, and the ability for users to email website pages to others – all created through modules already existing in Auctori:city’s content management system.

In addition to their main website, Wentzville has a presence on Facebook and Twitter to more intensely engage the community and share information with its citizens.  Wentzvillemo.org successfully integrates social media into its online presence with feeds to their website.

“A truly engaged community expects and participates in a variety of communication avenues that provide them the information they want, when and how they want to receive it.” said Wright.

In order to truly understand how residents are actually interating with the website, the website administrators have access to the website’s analytical statistics to indicate the site’s most-used features.  Through Auctori:city, the City of Wentzville’s website administrators now have the ability to access, change, and add new pages and information to their own website 24/7 without the hassle of calling a developer to add information.

In Juggle.com’s interview with Diana Wright, she explained that in 2-3 years, the City of Wentzville will see an increase in communication with their citizens and intend to reach people through video, mobile devices.  The process thus far, she explained, was demanding but rewarding.  The success is due to the commitment of the city’s team and the usability of Auctori:city’s user-friendly website.  Its usability will allow the websites administrators to continue to enhance the services and information to citizens, businesses, and visitors.
