Grapevine Economic Development Launches Innovative Redesigned Website to Enhance Community Engagement and Business Growth

    GRAPEVINE, TX, May 08, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Grapevine Economic Development is excited to announce the launch of its redesigned website, created in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency, now live at http://www.choosegrapevinetx.com. This revamped online presence embodies the city's evolution with a vibrant, user-friendly interface and a modern aesthetic that mirrors the community's unique charm and sophistication.

"Our brand has been evolving, and the previous website did not fully reflect the uniqueness or welcoming nature of Grapevine," said Garin Garin Giacomarro, MPA, Director of Grapevine Economic Development. "The new site is more streamlined, with easy access to the features our users interact with most frequently. It also received a colorful facelift, embracing the palette that we've adopted for all our marketing materials."

The redesign prioritizes functionality and community connection. The organization wanted a site that epitomizes the Grapevine experience: a special fusion of small-town charm and big-city sophistication. The homepage now highlights the city's dedicated staff, emphasizing Grapevine Economic Development's commitment to crafting a personal experience for every client and developer. Local news stories are prominently featured, establishing clear points of connection for anyone looking to engage with Grapevine.

"Our communication strategy is narrative-driven," added Steven Jones, Market Research Manager at Grapevine Economic Development. "We made sure to put our blog and podcast pages in prime position. Users who need quick access to facts and figures can still find those, but we're hoping folks take time to get to know us by really exploring the case studies and small business spotlights."

The partnership with Golden Shovel has been a cornerstone of this project's success. "As a small but mighty team of three, we lean on Golden Shovel for everything from web maintenance to supplemental content," said Giacomarro. "With their help, we are able to engage more effectively with local stakeholders and better tell the Grapevine story."

One notable feature of the new website is the integration of GIS tools and third-party data, designed to be user-friendly and seamless. These integrations are crucial for corporate users exploring demographic data, residents discovering new developments, or small business owners leveraging insights to strengthen their businesses.

With its refreshed website, Grapevine Economic Development continues to enhance its digital outreach and marketing strategies, ensuring that visitors can easily navigate and explore what makes the city a desirable destination for living and investing.
