DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The County Administrator's Office (CAO) recommends the Board of Supervisors receive a presentation on the launch of the Solanocounty.gov redesigned website.
SUMMARY:
The CAO in coordination with the Department of Information Technology (DoIT) and all County Departments has been undergoing a project to fully redesign the Solano County website to increase functionality and create a better user experience for both County departments and website visitors.
The project included extensive research and planning, including stakeholder feedback, defined requirements, a new visual design, and new site map. Since January 2025, extensive work has been done by all County Departments to transition to and build out the new site which will be launched at Solanocounty.gov by June 10, 2025.
This presentation will include a brief demonstration of the features and content of the new site.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In October 2024, the Board approved a contract with Interpersonal Frequency (I.F.) to build, implement, and support the redesigned website and backend platform. This included $250,000 for the initial development of the website, including training, content migration, content development support, and integrations. I.F. will also provide ongoing support after the site is launched at a cost of $220,950 in year one with a 5% increase annually. This fee includes hosting, annual integration fees, and support services for ongoing management of the site. These costs are included in the DoIT FY2024/25 Working Budget and FY2025/26 Recommended Budget.
