Courtenay’s website shakeup last year has earned international recognition.
The City of Courtenay said its website received a Gold AVA Digital Award in the website redesign category, recognising excellence in digital design, accessibility and production.
Manager of communications Anne Guillo said the recognition reflects the work that goes into keeping the website up to date and accessible for users every day.
“The website redesign was a shared effort with involvement from staff across all city departments, and we’re so pleased that this work has been recognized through this award.”
The AVA Digital Awards are an international competition that honours work in digital communication, including websites and digital experiences.
The redesigned website, created by the city and its digital partner Upanup, was developed to improve access to information, support transparency and better serve users.
The city gathered community feedback to help develop the new website, which was designed with a strong focus on accessibility and usability.
