FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 10, 2016 – Longmont, Colorado. Today, iCita and Ability Connection Colorado of Denver announced the release of their newly restructured and upgraded website. The planning and strategy for this re-launch started over a year ago with Ability Connection Colorado (ACCO) needing to pull their statewide programs away from their individual website locations and re-organize them into one cohesive location at www.AbilityConnectionColorado.org. The strategy was to adhere to responsive and best practices guidelines while keeping SEO rankings and Google Adwords consistent.
The website planning started with multiple strategy sessions with key executive team members to build a coherent splan integrating individual sites into a Program Support area within the site. At the same time, ACCO needed to respect the customer base each statewide had built as well as their content ownership. “It was a challenge to show respect programmically and make it an easier discussion with each program lead,” says Tom Smidt, CEO of iCita. “We went through a long design and mockup process to get everything correct and approved before developing the platform.”
The new website is located www.AbilityConnectionColorado.org and consists microsite functionality which allowed multiple WordPress websites to be pulled into a single installation of WordPress but provide individual content ownership for individual Program departments. The site used a Divi Framework along with a new content editor and microsite permission system.
Tom Smidt also worked closely with Tiffani Lennon, VP Development and her team to develope a transition and development strategy. The partnership was a great success and has created a more uniform representation of Ability Connection Colorado.
