The City of Maysville seeks to engage the services of a qualified firm or individual to provide design and content management services for two new websites that would both represent the city. One site would primarily focus on city government, and the other would focus on tourism. The City’s goal is to create websites that successfully promote our brand, facilitate a user-friendly environment for accessing municipal services, create easy communication between the City, citizens and visitors, and simplify content management while meeting high standards for design quality and visual appeal. The new websites will serve as the public face of Maysville’s government and tourism while providing 24/7 services for a wide range of users.
