Lake Mills Webpage

I’m thinking maybe its time to develop a more innovative Website. There are a couple of website solutions available on the market, designed specifically for smaller municipalities. These turnkey solutions allow cities, villages and towns to maintain a professional website and a user friendly Content Management System.

The site should feature:
1. One Sub Domain (ex: wi-lake mills.ci.lake-mills.wi.us.gov)

2. Site setup – the new website should be up and running in just a few short weeks, ready for training and modifying the site content.

3. Personalized Banner – Banner will include the name of the city, city seal and logo.

4. Slideshow setup for the homepage – up to 6 slides

5. Pre-populated menus and pages--all the content need to get started with a new website that is already included. After training it is easy to begin making modifications to that content to best suit the city’s purposes and needs.

6. 15 Hours of Online Phone Training– Using the train-the-trainer approach, there will receive in depth training and consulting on the following: Basic Page Administration, Basic System Administration, Basic Module Administration & Use, and Advanced Module Administration & Use.

7. Unlimited Access to the Training Library, which includes videos, online training courses, webinars, step-by-step manuals and more.

8. Hosting, Backup, Disaster Recovery, Maintenance and Upgrades is included with the ongoing service package. PLUS, unlimited access to a support team from 7AM to 7PM for one point of contact.

9. Modules included – Newsflash, Event Calendar, Staff Directory, Notify Me, FAQs, QuickLinks, Opinion Poll, Document Center, and Archive Center.
*Please see the Modules document for descriptions of these features.

These systems will have a cost – but I think it’s time we took the leap.
