Culver City Website Wins Award for Digital Innovation

CULVER CITY, CA — Culver City was among the cities honored last week in the third annual "What's Next Awards" competition, which recognizes local government websites for excellence in citizen engagement, green gov, online innovation, transparency and visual impact.

The awards were given out by Vision, a leading developer of software for local government to use to inform and engage their communities.

"Citizen expectations for 24/7 service have increased dramatically since we introduced these awards three years ago," said Ashley Fruechting, senior director of strategic partnerships for Vision. "This year's group of winners reflect the kind of innovative forward-thinking that is inspiring municipal leaders everywhere to embrace their online presence and dedicate themselves to using technology to better serve their communities."

Culver City's website, www.culvercity.org, which reflects the energetic vibe of the city and highlights local restaurants, technology and entertainment, is tops for visual impact. The site's navigation was completely overhauled and features large buttons and photos that guide visitors to the most frequently visited pages with a single click. The Culver City site also leverages the mobile-friendly responsive design tools of vision CMS.
