The Website

Modern Minimalist

The City of Hiawatha’s former site was antiquated and did not serve the purpose it needed to. They came to Metro Studios seeking a new website that makes communication easier, better informs constituents and is user-friendly.

Universal Design

The Metro Studios solution to bringing a 1995-esque site, up to date, was to design it as we would any other site. Our team also integrated functionality that is unique to the city’s site, making it a universal tool for users with various needs.

Interactive Layout

Our strategy led us to develop a site that had the following attributes: Easy to navigate, user accounts, bill payment, push notifications, city ordinance displays, activities and events display, and simplistic administrative control. This new design allowed users to interact with the city in ways they never could before, and its structure makes administrative maintenance effortless.
