The city of Ferndale is overhauling its web site and is looking for resident input on the design.
Residents have had the opportunity to fill out an online survey to share their thoughts on the site's new logo and graphic design, and now residents are invited to stop by a meeting to share their views.
The meeting will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday at the Kulick Center.
The new web site's logo and graphic design are being developed by Skidmore Studio, based in Detroit.
During the meeting, attendees will be asked to complete a brief five-question informational survey created by Skidmore Studios.
Insights and opinions from the public meeting and the surveys will help to inform the design and branding position that Skidmore Studios develops for the city.
The city began seeking proposals for the redesign in late March. The website redesign and CMS integration are not to exceed $30,000, and the logo and overall brand development are not to exceed $15,000.
What do you think?
What type of design would you envision for the city's new logo and web site? Are there any specific features you'd like to see on the web site? Tell us in the comments section below.

all long as it's different from the current website, that's all that matters.
the current Ferndale website is an embarrassment.
just copy another city's website, Birmingham looks good.
don't waste time and money reinventing the wheel.

It has to be outdoor? Indoor can be used year-round. :)

An outdoor facility could be so much fun! Very few Ferndale residents have a permanent outdoor pool (only one that I am aware) for summer fun. By following the same design our Pleasant Ridge neighbors get to enjoy, perhaps something can be discussed further for our community????

A clean, modern design that has users able to interact with the site. And Current photos consistently updated of the city for users that are not from the area that potentially would want to make Ferndale their new home.

An clean, easy to use, intuitive site where information about codes, permits, ordinances and city services are easy to find. Online form submissions, online bill payment. Ways to easily contact people in the city about concerns or questions. Pictures of all the parks and city buildings with accurate links to google maps. A good calendar of events, trash pickup, school closings and things like that.
