🔧 Working prototype by Stoa — a concept for the Lake Erie West website redesign, not the official site. Real content is drawn from the council's current site.

Concept preview

A member portal, built for member governments

A redesigned site would give member staff a secure portal — single sign-on through the council's Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID, so there is no new password to manage, with access controlled at the individual and organization level. This is a design concept; no real accounts are shown.

Sign in with your work account

Single sign-on via Active Directory (SAML / OpenID Connect) — the same login members already use.

Roles & access

Back-end access is differentiated by role, at the individual and organization level.
