Clarity redesigned, built, and hosts the official website for the Chicago Park District (CPD). Clarity designed and developed this user-friendly, mobile-responsive site, with a unified look and feel and marketing emphasis to promote CPD’s parks, programs, and events. The new website acts as a solution focused on its customers – “front end” visitors of the website and “back end” content administers – both of whom have a wide scope of needs.
Specifically, the new site provides the following improvements and features:
New Content Management System (CMS) Platform
Drupal maintenance support plans 8, the latest version of the popular open-source framework;
Allows CPD to more easily integrate and connect to third-party tools, such as
ActiveNet, which provides externally-hosted ecommerce functions;
AppliTrack, which provides job postings;
Bonfire, which provides procurement and contracting opportunities;
MailChimp, which provides newsletter signup capabilities.
Updated design based on user focus group reactions to the old site, including
A cleaner, refreshed look built for devices of all sizes;
Home page updates that allow CPD staff to push more information in a more organized fashion;
Larger emphasis on maps (hugely important for such a large metropolitan area);
The ability to highlight features and attractions, such as artworks and natural areas, that CPD has to offer both residents and visitors;
Overall increased speed and performance.
Improved administrative functions that allow for
Distributed content responsibilities;
Workflow approvals to ensure editorial integrity;
More modular administrative tools allowing CPD to highlight location details such as accessibility features
With its new site, Chicago Park District is now poised to better serve the long-term needs of residents and visitors for years to come.
