City of Lomita Calls on Tripepi Smith for Website Redesign

The City of Lomita expanded its contract with Tripepi Smith to include the redesign of its City website. The City and Tripepi Smith have been in partnership since 2016 to provide communications support and related services, such as strategic messaging, community outreach, content development, graphic design, meeting promotion, strategy facilitation and more.

The Tripepi Smith team worked diligently to produce a website with a new contemporary and comprehensive design, that improves functionality, navigability and organization. During the redesign process, Tripepi Smith worked with city staff on revamping the existing sitemap to improve the organization of content to make it easier for visitors to find and navigate information and services on the new website. The new responsive designed website features user-friendly navigation with content accessible in three clicks or less, easy to use homepage buttons for most visited pages or services, improved calendar featuring the latest events in the City, specialized department pages with button links to more information, Granicus integration for agendas and minutes, mobile-optimization and a custom-built staff directory.

“At the City of Lomita, keeping our community updated and maintaining a relationship with our residents is a top priority,” said Lomita City Manager Ryan Smoot. “Tripepi Smith has proven to be a tremendous help in ensuring our priorities are met. The knowledge and expertise brought in by their team is invaluable and has exceeded our expectations of what could be accomplished.”

With Senior Business Analyst Melanie James leading the effort and support from Business Analyst Sara Madsen and Junior Business Analysts Kalee Cummings and Melanie Moore, the Tripepi Smith team collaborated to support the City’s communications and technical needs.

“The City of Lomita is dedicated to providing the best services to their community with the best tools,” said Sara. “In redesigning their website, we wanted to ensure it would be updated to a modern design while remaining user friendly and accessible. Another project in the books with Lomita and their amazing team!”

After a soft launch in early November, the completed website was officially unveiled at the Lomita State of the City. The website can be viewed here: LomitaCity.com
