Problem
The BRPC felt that the Berkshire Benchmarks website was no longer meeting its needs or those of its users. Online visitors unfamiliar with the Berkshire Benchmarks program found the website difficult to navigate and use. Further, the website was not easy for staff to edit.
Solution
The Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) engaged Badie Designs to create a new website for its Berkshire Benchmarks program. The site includes:
- Automated collection of data from the state
- A reports page searchable by agency, topic, and year
- Pages for sectors such as the economy, education, housing, transportation, and the environment
We’ll be maintaining the website for three years.
