Sector(s)
Located 10 miles northwest of Chicago, Morton Grove is an active village of about 23,000 residents. The village’s Park District, though, wanted a new way to connect residents with their parks and recreation services in a new online portal.
By rebooting their website in a Drupal 7 framework, Morton Grove Park District took a substantial leap forward in connecting with the community. The Park District worked with Promet Source, a Drupal development shop based in Chicago, to build a responsive site that puts users at the forefront and doesn’t miss opportunities to engage them on every facet of the site.
Promet Source generated an updated design and built the site on Drupal 7.
Why Drupal was chosen
The ability to present structured content across any device was a deciding factor for Morton Grove Park District in going with Drupal.
