Revise CMS
Revize websites come with Citizen Engagement Web Applications that allow residents to be part of their government and participate more in their community! Government design is different here. We are a group of people with diverse backgrounds working together to create things that don't exist yet. Revize was the first to introduce responsive web design to the government website industry. Communication is the most important part of everything we do. Initial meetings establish client needs and expectations so there are never any unpleasant surprises. Together we determine the desired navigational architecture and prioritize what items should be accessible from the home page. In order to develop a website that truly reflects your municipality, we need to know as much as possible about your community. We take the time to do detailed research on your city’s demographics, shopping districts, downtown, parks and places of interest.
