The city’s website will soon be taking on a new look.
City staff has been working on an update to the city’s website, which was last designed in 2009.
“We have outgrown our site since then,” said Ashleigh Young, the city’s communications coordinator. “The amount of information we are posting has increased.”
Young said the website is one of the primary sources of information for residents and needs updating. She said the goal is to provide improved access to information and an enhanced experience for website users.
One of the changes expected to be unveiled this week includes giving certain topics, such as transportation, their own section. Until now, the parks and recreation department has had its own website, but that will “cease to exist” and parks and rec information will be incorporated into the city’s website.
Young noted there could be some initial “growing pains” such as broken links to information when the new website is launched.
