I've been involved with one of these city projects (ironically, one for a city about the same size, reach). You wouldn't believe what you run into.
- City government runs slow. Real slow. One project I worked on, I did the IA in March of last year, and they are hoping to launch next month. - You have to scrub all the old content and re architect it. There's NO WAY you can do IA for every page, so you do very high level patterns, hoping the content fits. Or, does anyone want to do a site inventory for thousands of pages? - It's decision by committee. - Training isn't easy because the employees aren't what you see in the private sector (not saying they aren't as smart, their priorities are different). The site 84,000 pages according to Google. They're going to go over that bid. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
