[Agencyitmanagers] Questions about your public-facing agency websites

[agencyitmanagers at admws.idaho.gov]

Here are the answers to the following:



1.      What is the URL of your public-facing agency website?

https://itd.idaho.gov



2.      Has your site had significant rework/modification/update in the last 3 years?
Yes, we redesigned the entire ITD website in the fall of 2016


3.      If so, who did the design of your site? Your internal staff? Access Idaho? Contractor (please specify whom)?
The website redesign was completed using ITD's internal staff.


4.      Does your site use a Content Management System (CMS) back end, or are all pages static? If CMS, which do you use and what version (i.e. Wordpress, DNN, Umbraco, Drupal, etc.)?
We use the WordPress CMS system


5.      If you use a CMS, are you satisfied with it? Would you recommend it?
We have been very satisfied with WordPress


6.      If you had significant rework done, please describe the scope of work, the cost, and length of project (including migrating content from your old system to your new system).
The scope of work was typical of most website redesign projects.
Since the entire project was completed in house, it was difficult to set an exact cost, we estimated the cost to be $50,000 +-.
Concept, development and launch was a 6 month long process. Training and clean-up took another 6 months. 1 year total.


I would be glad to speak with Gerry regarding the process, if necessary...

Subject: [Agencyitmanagers] Questions about your public-facing agency websites

Greetings,

I am Gerry Smith, Information Services Manager at Idaho DEQ. My agency is preparing to do a total rebuild/refresh of our public website (https://www.deq.idaho.gov).

As part of my planning, I'd like to know a few things about YOUR public-facing websites to better help me make solid recommendations to my Director. If you could answer the following questions for me, I would very much appreciate it and your time!
You may send your replies to me directly (Gerald.smith at deq.idaho.gov<mailto:Gerald.smith at deq.idaho.gov>) or to this list; after a reasonable period, I'll compile a summary of the information to share with this list as I think it would be valuable for all of us.

Thanks again for your time,

Gerry
