Our Philosophy
Where We’re Going, Where You’re Going
Today’s world is changing quickly. CivicPlus is leading the way. We’re providing guidance to government employees to help create systems that respond to our new world of communication. A website is only part of this solution. Rather than only provide a website, we provide a complete system for community engagement.
“Our website is an excellent way to build good relationships with citizens and to make visitors feel welcome. The new design allows us to present information in a smart and efficient way, whether that information is department-based or service-based. Making information easier to find is a continuing priority as the new site evolves over time.”
- Gray Craig, Roanoke, VA. County Web Content Manager
+ Helping Communities Engage and Interact
Finding the right way to engage and interact with your community is key to building a strong, growing, competitive city or county. Allowing residents and community members to customize the way they receive information from you builds a stronger, better-informed public.
Community engagement means helping you look at your communications strategies from the citizen perspective. CivicPlus will help you organize information that is most important and create an online structure to help residents find what they need quickly.
+ Citizen-Focused Communications
From coast to coast, cities and counties are asking for help in moving from a static communications model to a dynamic, interactive one. The CivicPlus Community Engagement Model allows all community members to not only find the information they need, but also to be active contributors. The CivicPlus system also streamlines communication among government employees — from one desk to the next and one department to another.
Engaging Fellow Departments — CivicPlus encourages your staff to walk through the site with other departments to learn about how to most effectively use the site. After all, community engagement begins with effective internal communications, enabling your employees to become better ambassadors.
Engaging the Community — The CivicPlus Community Engagement Model allows all community members to not only find the information they need, but also to be active contributors. Just as important as briefing fellow employees about new tools and online capabilities, we encourage you to do the same for the public. As an option, CivicPlus is available to host these community forums, providing an opportunity for anyone to receive a tour of the site, learn how it works, and find the features that are most important to them. People will learn how to sign up for notifications and receive alerts to help keep their families safe.
