The City of Columbia’s official website has been upgraded to better serve the community. This past Friday, the re-designed site went live, offering many improvements.
First, City staff worked with CivicPlus, the vendor, to completely update the design of the site. In conjunction with that process, the team reorganized the website’s navigation, making it easier to find content. As a result, the whole look and feel of the website has been updated and improved.
Three new features merit special notice:
The calendar now shows dates in a graphic manner, not just as a list, making it easier to find events via the website;
Navigation has been revamped to make it easier to find content and functions on the site;
The website has a new, revolving slide show highlighting content and services of special interest--including some new, high interest content that has recently been added.
Other changes are being made to improve the website’s functionality for new businesses seeking to locate in this area. National studies suggest that more than 98% of site selections are with primary contact via a community’s website.
Further improvements will continue to be made to make Columbia’s website more useful to citizens as well as for visitors and potential investors. If you have a suggestion for improving the website, please send it to Paul Ellis, pellis@columbiaillinois.com or (618) 281-7144.
