The City of Redmond will soon begin developing a new Web site.

To that end, the city wants to ensure as many residents and businesses are heard with regards to community needs for a city government Web site.

A survey to gather that input will be at redmond.gov/surveys, “Website Survey,” beginning July 20 and will take approximately five minutes to complete. The link will be live until August 7.

In addition to the survey, focus groups and interviews of residents, staff and business and community leaders were conducted. The information from the survey, focus groups and other sources over the next few months will be compiled into a report for presentation to the City Council in the fall.

“Our city Web site first went live in 2001 and while content and applications have been added over the last eight years, the technical aspects of the site currently do not allow the functionality today’s web users expect,” stated Marta Gronlund, Communications Program Manager. “This survey will help us identify and prioritize the products and services most users need and want on the city’s new Web site.”

For information on the Web site needs assessment or the online survey, contact Marta Gronlund at mgronlund@redmond.gov or (425) 556-2427.
