Government Websites Don’t Have to Feel Like Government Websites


After nearly a year of collaboration, strategy, and design, bendoregon.gov is LIVE! Moxie Sozo partnered with the City of Bend to prove civic websites can be beautiful, accessible, and genuinely helpful.

The transformation:
•Migrated thousands of articles, events, and documents seamlessly
•Reimagined site architecture so residents find what they need intuitively
•Rebuilt on WordPress to give City staff real creative freedom
•Engineered custom processes to migrate inaccessible data
•Kept the community top of mind, ensuring their access to vital services
•Designed for everyone, fully responsive and accessible, ensuring all visitors are equally represented

The impact? Residents now connect with their city in just a few clicks. Staff have the tools to serve their community better. And everyone experiences what civic digital can be when it's done right.

When organizations lead with accessibility and put people at the center, incredible things happen. If Bend can do it, every city can. Time to redefine what civic digital looks like. 

One Bend. Built Together.
