Content Management System

The CRCOG staff sought a solution for enhanced organization and retrieval of documents spanning a decade. With a multitude of materials, such as agendas, meeting minutes, reports, studies, and more stored on the site, it became imperative to categorize and tag them on the backend, enabling advanced filtering and search capabilities. To address this challenge, we developed a comprehensive document library that facilitates convenient access for both CRCOG staff and the public, ensuring the location and retrieval of important documents.

CRCOG tapped BBG&G to develop a modern website designed to increase its social media presence, support its marketing efforts, and help its communities, municipalities, media and the public effectively and efficiently access relevant and current information. Since CRCOG’s last website redesign was in 2015, BBG&G was tasked to update the website to make CRCOG’s programs, services, and digital content easily accessible.

CRCOG ultimately decided to work with BBG&G because of our website design expertise and demonstrated track record of helping organizations enhance their online presence and digital reach while providing a user-friendly, online experience.
