City of Pleasanton Unveils Visitor-Friendly Website
The website was designed with a focus on meeting the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors accessing information about the city.
The City of Pleasanton introduces its newly designed website www.cityofpleasantonca.gov. The website, developed by Civica Software, was designed with a focus on meeting the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors accessing information about the city.
“The City’s existing website was obsolete after ten years, and it was time for a new look and to incorporate the many new enhanced features available today,” according to Pleasanton City Manager Nelson Fialho. “Visitors to the new cityofpleasantonca.gov website will find a contemporary new look, quick access to services and information, transaction buttons to do business with the City, easier navigation, FAQ’s for each City department, a full staff directory, and integration with other social media outlets used by the City,” he added.
The site is the go-to point for information about Pleasanton, including all city business, living, dining, shopping and playing, and was strategically designed to increase connections with residents, businesses and visitors.

Assistant to the City Manager Maria Ojeda directed the project, which took just under one year to complete.
“The former website averaged 170,000 page views per month,” said Ojeda. “We want to increase online traffic further with this new site, and expect that users of multiple interests will easily find information and connect with Pleasanton by subscribing to lists and developing personalized profiles to navigate to their favorite topics easily. Our busiest page destinations such as the library, employment, police, and water utility will better serve web users with a new layout and responsive design for mobile users.”
