Consultation has concluded
The City of Hamilton website is a key communications tool that provides a variety of information about programs, services and operations to its citizens, businesses and other stakeholders.
The current Hamilton.ca launched in 2015 and has seen an average of 15 million page views a year and an increase in users from 1.5 to 3.4 million in the same time period.
Our requirements for a website have since evolved and City staff are launching a consultation process to uncover user motivations and needs for 2021 and beyond. The feedback gathered through public engagement opportunities will provide staff with valuable insight into what’s working, not working and ensuring any updates and redevelopment work that is done meets the needs of our residents and stakeholders.
City staff will advance hamilton.ca by focusing on delivering valuable content, an efficient CMS and a commitment to an improved user experience. We are estimating it will take until the end of 2021 to complete this project.

Instead of small bits of departmental information scattered around the site, with seemingly little or no connection between them, we’d like to consolidate tasks by common actions.
We want to ensure that information can be found in the most logical place and that like-minded information/content is grouped and named appropriately. Your response will help us make decisions to organize the content on our website.
