Councilmember Heineman replied it was fine waiting for the information, he was just curious if <br /> when a post is created there is reach meaning how many people saw it, then there is engagement <br /> meaning how many people clicked on it, then click rate for embedded links, then there is sharing. <br /> He stated his question was if the reach was being increased and everything else was staying <br /> stagnant or if there were other benefits being seen such as sharing or driving business back to the <br /> website. <br /> Communications and Events Coordinator Thorstad stated she would include that in her next report. <br /> She started the next subject which is the website redesign which is a part of the contract with <br /> CivicPlus. She stated she and IT Manager Fredrickson met with a representative to get training <br /> on what it might look like. <br /> IT Manager Fredrickson stated the redesign process is about a six month process but may go faster. <br /> The representative from CivicPlus recommended training for the Staff, and looking at Google <br /> Analytics for the site to identify what is being visited on the page. CivicPlus will come back with <br /> suggestions for changes and additions. <br /> Communications and Events Coordinator Thorstad asked informationally nothing would be <br /> changing on website but it may be moved. <br /> IT Manager Frederickson confirmed this adding the structure and visuals are what is going to <br /> change. He added that changes to navigation and content of the website are offered at an additional <br /> cost but that the redesign would be more cosmetic. <br /> Councilmember Heineman asked who the provider is. <br /> IT Manager Fredrickson replied CivicPlus. <br /> Councilmember Heineman asked if it was correct that they do most of the other cities around. <br /> IT Manger Fredrickson confirmed this. <br /> Councilmember Heineman asked if there are websites for other cities that could be previewed to <br /> see what it is going to look like. <br /> IT Manager Fredrickson replied he believed so, that there are other cities close by that have gone <br /> through a redesign recently. He didn't have that information but could get it. <br /> Councilmember Howell commented that several people have told her they struggle with the <br /> navigation of the website. She stated she knows it is extra but wondered if that could be improved <br /> for people <br /> Mayor Kuzma stated there had been discussion about putting a committee together with staff and <br /> Councilmembers to work on problem areas based on feedback they have gotten. <br /> City Council Work Session /February 22, 2022 <br /> Page 6 of 13 <br />
