Case Study: Beaverton achieves a Sunny Award for most transparent government website with CivicPlus

Beaverton, OR Receives Award for Most Transparent Government Website

Beaverton, OR, a diverse city of about 97,500 residents, faced an outdated website that didn’t reflect its vibrant community and strained a small staff trying to keep information current. To improve outreach, inclusion, and ease of content updates, Beaverton engaged CivicPlus and implemented the CivicEngage CMS so non‑technical city staff could more efficiently manage site content and civic services.

CivicPlus delivered an award‑winning CivicEngage site with features like Calendar filtering, Notify Me, and Form Center, making event discovery, communications, and community feedback far easier. As a result, Beaverton earned a Sunny Award for transparency and an A+ city website grade, saw increased user engagement through event filtering and subscriptions, and gained faster, more effective resident feedback via Form Center.
