A site ready for expanded programs, rentals, and recreation demand
PenMet's public website has more to carry now: the Recreation Center, growing programs, mini golf, facility rentals, adaptive recreation, Board transparency, and capital projects all need to be easy to find.
- Registration pathways stay familiar. The prototype keeps ActiveNet as the transaction system while making the handoff clearer.
- Programs and rentals become searchable. Residents can filter by audience, season, and category before they leave the site.
- Board and financial records are easier to find. Public information is grouped around the questions residents actually ask.
Behind the public site
A staff workflow for parks, programs, events, and records
The RFP asks for a CMS that is easy for non-technical staff, supports roles and permissions, schedules publishing, archives content, and keeps accessibility maintained. The prototype now includes a staff-side workflow preview built from real PenMet source content.
What the workflow demonstrates
- Structured records for programs, rentals, parks, Board materials, news, events, and public documents.
- Role-aware review paths, publish and archive steps, and source links.
- Content checks for accessible link text, alt text, document summaries, translation readiness, and third-party handoffs.
Reliable by design
Built for daily public service, not just the front page
Clear task paths
Programs, parks, rentals, Board records, contact, and capital projects get obvious resident routes from the first screen.
Accessible patterns
Skip links, labels, visible focus, landmark discipline, tested contrast, and predictable keyboard paths are part of every template.
Staff-ready content
Programs, parks, events, alerts, documents, and records are structured so staff can maintain them without rebuilding pages by hand.
Clean handoffs
ActiveNet, NextRequest, maintenance requests, Jotform, maps, social channels, and public PDFs remain systems of record.
Prototype note
What this prototype covers
This concept is built from PenMet's actual public offerings, exact third-party handoffs, current park facts, official photography, a real sitewide search index, and Spanish-language vital-flow pages.
