New City Website

The City of West Des Moines has a new and improved website.

The site is still at http://www.wdm-ia.com/ but has a new look and feel, and tremendous new functionality. We began our redesign process last summer and selected a vendor from sixteen RFPs. Six months after the initial meeting, the new website is complete.

Because the site is so much easier for our employees to use, we'll be updating and adding information a lot more often. Basically, we have complete control over the site content including pages, photos, documents, postings, and more. Each department has representatives dedicated to maintaining and improving the website in addition to their other job responsibilities.

I invite you to take a look at the new site and check out our new functionality. You can sign up to receive updates on news and events via email; navigate through the site based on who you are (visitor, resident, or business), what you're looking for (see the How Do I? bar), or city department (Your Government). Soon, we will have a database for our bids and proposals up on the site as well.

There is a lot more out there. Please take a look and refer back whenever you need information on the City. I think you'll find the new site very user friendly.
