Stuurlui, a leading web development agency, recently built a new website for the municipality of ‘s Hertogenbosch. The old website, while technically robust, had its limitations in terms of online marketing. The municipality sought a partner, not just a service provider, to help them improve accessibility, design, and flexibility. Stuurlui emerged as the ideal collaborator, providing a transparent and honest partnership.
To meet the municipality’s needs for flexibility and improved information accessibility, Stuurlui and Eagerly crafted a strategy and design. The new website now allows for more flexible page construction, enhanced information findability, and a future-proof foundation. One of the key requirements was to enable visitors to quickly find what they were looking for. Various solutions were incorporated into the design, such as a prominently positioned search bar on the homepage for instant results and the ability to monitor search terms for continuous improvement.
- The website was built according to the Open Web concept, allowing for shared functionalities and blocks among municipalities.
- The front-end and back-end were kept separate, with WordPress as the CMS on the front-end and content in central databases.
- The website also includes a quick menu for the most requested products and services, making it easier for users to navigate.
