SINGLE DIGITAL PROPERTY
The City of Boston set out to re-imagine the City’s digital front
door — Boston.gov — with the goal of building a government
website that is beautiful, welcoming, and highly useful.

engagement can and should look like.
Solution: Drupal CMS, Acquia Cloud
Results:

boston.gov

The Genesis Housing website had been in use for as long as the
organization had been in existence, and wasn’t serving the current
needs of their diverse customer base.
Challenge: Notting Hill Genesis wanted to provide a quick, easy way for
residents to report repair requests that would mirror the experience of
calling a staff member.
