Overview

Visit Arcadia is a full custom website and rebranding initiative for the City of Arcadia’s Economic Development Department. The project began with an expanded design scope, including the development of six logo concepts and refinement of the City’s color palette, typography, and overall brand direction. Once the new identity was approved, the team moved through our five-phase website process—Concept, Design, Prototype Development, Build Out, and Launch/Training—to deliver a modern, highly visual WordPress Bricks destination website.

The project’s goal was to modernize the tourism experience, make high-value content easy to access, and introduce a refreshed Visit Arcadia identity that resonates with residents, visitors, and local businesses. Following launch, the City transitioned into CTS’s ongoing website support and maintenance services to ensure long-term performance, accessibility, and scalability.

The Challenge

The City of Arcadia needed a visitor-focused digital experience that felt distinct from its primary municipal website while supporting tourism and economic development goals. The existing Visit Arcadia presence lacked a cohesive brand identity and the intuitive, mobile-friendly experience expected of a modern destination website.

The City needed a solution that would:

Establish a strong, recognizable Visit Arcadia brand
Make tourism content easy to discover and navigate
Perform seamlessly on mobile devices for on-the-go visitors
Remain accessible, maintainable, and scalable as content evolves

Our Approach

The project began with an expanded design scope focused on brand development. We created six logo concepts and refined Arcadia’s color palette, typography, and visual direction to establish a refreshed Visit Arcadia identity that differentiated it from the City’s primary website while supporting long-term branding goals.

Once the new identity was approved, the team moved through our five-phase website process—Concept, Design, Prototype Development, Build Out, and Launch/Training—to deliver a fully custom WordPress BRICKS destination website.

Custom UX/UI design centered on exploration and discovery
Experience-driven navigation organized by visitor intent
Mobile-first layouts optimized for travelers
ADA-compliant design and development aligned with WCAG 2.2 Level AA
Flexible, reusable components to support future City initiatives

Following launch, Visit Arcadia transitioned into our ongoing website support and maintenance plan. Our team continues to provide accessibility monitoring, content updates, performance optimization, and technical support to ensure the site remains compliant, secure, and effective over time.
