The City of Long Beach

Worth a read...

We built a highly customized CMS and merged 32 departmental microsites into a unified, permission-driven platform.

Client Snapshot

Industry

Municipal Government

Users

City staff, department administrators, and over 450,000 residents

Project Goals

Consolidate departmental sites, enable flexible content control, automate resident notifications

The Challenge

The city had 32 separate departmental microsites and over 1,200 pages of content, with inconsistent content management tools and no unified notification system. Each department needed different styling and control, but the infrastructure couldn’t support that flexibility.

What We Did

Microsite Migration & Consolidation

We migrated content for all 32 departments into the root domain, preserving department-specific styling while centralizing structure.

Permission & Content Control System

We built custom user controls and 33 unique permission sets so each department can manage content independently without breaking shared site integrity.

Notifications, Search & Optimization

We developed a resident alert subscription tool, custom news/press widgets, a powerful enterprise search engine, and optimized caching & navigation for performance.

Project Highlights

  • Successfully migrated 1,200+ pages across 32 departments
  • Created 33 permission tiers to balance flexibility & control
  • Delivered a unified, faster site with improved search, content tools, and notification workflows
