Making County Government Easier to Navigate

Boundary County needed more than a new website. They needed a better way for residents to find important public information—and a better system for County staff to keep that information organized, accessible, and up to date.

The Problem

Boundary County’s existing Drupal website had become difficult for both residents and County staff to use.

Years of accumulated pages, documents, departmental information, meeting materials, and public records made navigation increasingly complicated. Residents often needed to understand how the County itself was organized before they could figure out where to find the information or service they needed.

Behind the scenes, maintaining the website was also cumbersome. Different departments needed an easier way to manage their own information without creating inconsistencies across the site.

At the same time, accessibility was becoming increasingly important. Boundary County needed to prepare for government accessibility requirements and move toward WCAG 2.1 AA compliance—not simply redesign an outdated website.

Our Solution

Well Dressed Walrus rebuilt Boundary County’s website in WordPress around one central idea: make County information easier to find and easier to manage.

We reorganized the site’s information architecture and developed a more intuitive Departments & Services structure so residents could find what they needed without having to understand the County’s internal organizational chart.

Accessibility was incorporated throughout the project. Rather than simply migrating years of potentially inaccessible PDFs into the new website, we worked with the County to develop a more sustainable approach to online information—moving appropriate content into accessible web pages while creating a better system for managing documents and historical records.

The new website also included custom development and functionality specifically designed around the needs of local government, including:

  • Advanced document organization and filtering
  • Events and public meetings management
  • Improved site search and navigation
  • Mobile-friendly page layouts
  • Accessible online forms and content
  • Department-level content management
  • Custom PHP development
  • Staff training for announcements, meetings, documents, and ongoing website maintenance

The goal wasn’t simply to give Boundary County a better-looking website. It was to create an online infrastructure that could serve residents and County employees for years to come.

The Result

Boundary County launched its new website in July 2026 with a modern, scalable platform designed around public access to information.

Residents now have a clearer path to County departments, services, meetings, documents, announcements, and other frequently requested resources. County employees have a more manageable WordPress environment for keeping that information current without relying on a complicated legacy system.

Most importantly, Boundary County now has a stronger foundation for accessibility and future compliance—one that treats accessibility as part of how information is created and managed rather than something added to the website after the fact.

The result is more than a redesigned county website.

It’s a more accessible, organized, and sustainable digital front door for Boundary County government.
