The municipality of Rotterdam has a history of thinking creatively about its digital communication. An online poll of residents and employees resulted in more than 2,000 ideas, which were then developed into a coherent story with six themes: clear, findable, accessible, understandable, relevant, and Rotterdam.
Made with love in Rotterdam
The task of developing the new website was put out to a Europe-wide, restricted invitation to tender that was won by end-to-end agency iO. The website will be built in Drupal — based on iO's own open-source project, called Drupal for Municipalities — and will launch in December 2022.
Petra Berrevoets , product owner of rotterdam.nl, on choosing iO:
“As a municipality, it is important to offer your residents a good site, because our information and digital services should be available and accessible to everyone. It’s a responsibility we take very seriously. iO won the tender because they met all our requirements. They have strong references when it comes to their technological knowledge and user-friendly digital products. I look forward to this website going live for our city in the near future.”
