The Regional Municipality of York (York Region) is home to a growing and diverse population in the Greater Toronto Area. Consisting of nine towns and cities, York Region has a complex municipal government structure. To serve its disparate population better, it needed a new means of sharing information and resources with residents.

To provide residents with better access to services and information Akendi redesigned York Region’s website. The information architecture, built around government departments, was restructured to support the way users actually look for information. The visual design was created to reflect York Region’s landscape and community, giving a positive, professional and welcoming feel for residents, businesses and developers. A responsive design was developed to allow residents greater access to municipal resources.
