The City of New Westminster has launched a version of its website that is formatted for viewing on mobile devices.
A press release from the city states the website has all the same content available on the desktop website but features streamlined navigation to allow browsing from all smartphones and tablets. When people try to access the city's website from their mobile devices, they will automatically be redirected to the optimized site. "As more individuals use mobile devices to access information, having a mobile-friendly website for the City of New Westminster is essential to ensure we stay connected to residents, businesses and visitors," said Acting Mayor Jonathan Cote. "The city's website is the primary source our residents turn to for civic information, and the new mobile site will make it even more accessible."
According to the city, more than 64,000 users accessed the website in 2013 using mobile devices and tablets. To see the site, go to www.newwestcity.ca.
