Revamp for Council website
Tuesday, 2 June 2009The Southland District Council website www.southlanddc.govt.nz has had a makeover. Communications manager Louise Pagan said the revamped site is now live after several months of work.
The old site was looking tired and had some navigational problems, so it was time for redevelopment.
"Some things like our Southland banner have stayed the same, but we have made it easier to find what you want quickly," Mrs Pagan said.
The front page of the new site will be updated frequently with news and events and will have a monthly focus on one of Southland's towns and communities.
"We are moving to being able to do more things online and people will be able to sign up for updates on their water supply scheme, or get press releases when they are issued, or even simply changes on the site.
"People will also be able to search our cemetery records online."
Mrs Pagan encourages people to have a look and to email Council on emailsdc@southlanddc.govt.nz if they have feedback and/or suggestions on how to further improve the site.
"It will be a continually evolving site so any suggestions are welcome. However, we are also very aware of the fact that many Southlanders are still on dialup and so we have tried to ensure the site is simple and easy to download."
