The City of Courtenay has received international recognition for its redesigned website.
The site received two Awards of Distinction from the Communicator Awards in the features — website redesign and general — government categories.
Mayor Bob Wells said the website is one of the most important ways residents stay connected with the city and officials are pleased it has been recognized again.
“The city’s new website reflects our commitment to clear communication, accessibility and transparency, and to making it easier for people to engage with the work of their local government.”
The Communicator Awards recognize excellence, effectiveness and innovation in communications.
This year marked the 32nd edition of the awards and more than 3,000 entries were received from agencies, global brands, digital agencies, production studios, in-house communications professionals, graphic designers, design firms and public relations firms.
The redesigned Courtenay website was developed in partnership with the city and Upanup to improve access to information, support transparency and better serve residents, businesses and visitors.
The redesign also focused on clear navigation and layout aligned with the city’s brand, along with improved search functionality, mobile-friendly design and flexible tools to help keep information current and relevant.
