In 2004, Christchurch City Libraries commissioned McGovern consultant, Paul Reynolds, to work with them to explore and to assist document a philosophy regarding their on-line presence. Specifically the project brief spoke of the need for McGovern to offer a “compelling and creative vision to the next stage of the CCL on-line presence”.
Following the consultation work, McGovern were contracted to design the information architecture and user interfaces to the full website. The front-end coding and database integration were carried out in-house by library staff.
