The Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) is a voluntary Council of Governments formed to initiate and implement regional programs of benefit to the member towns and the Region. Guided by the chief elected officials of 38 Metro Hartford municipalities, CRCOG members have collaborated for more than 50 years on a wide range of projects to benefit member towns individually and the Region collaboratively.

Goals
In 2021, CRCOG sought to collaborate with a first-in-class expert in developing dynamic, user-friendly websites with a demonstrable portfolio in complex website design, advanced online systems content management, search engine optimization (SEO), and mobile-ready website development.
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.
