The Town of The Blue Mountains is excited to announce that the new Town website (www.thebluemountains.ca) will be launching on Thursday, October 28, 2021.
With a focus on enhancing the overall user experience, the new website features improved navigation and search engine capabilities to help users find information faster. The design is based on feedback from residents, the Community Communications Advisory Committee, Town staff and recommendations from the website developer.
“The new website has been designed and developed through community and user feedback alongside data and analytics,” says Tim Hendry, Manager of Communications and Economic Development. “Using analytics, the navigation and search capabilities have been simplified to ensure users are able to find what they’re looking for and content has incorporated the use of plain language to simplify and increase readability for users.”
The new website is compatible with all smartphones, tablets and computers, and meets the highest level of accessibility standards for government organizations. In addition, the website offers the ability for users to subscribe for Town news and information, and project-specific updates.
"Town staff have worked collaboratively with the Community Communications Advisory Committee to design and develop the new website and I would like to thank all residents that participated in the website user testing workshops,” explains Chief Administrative Officer, Shawn Everitt. “As we launch the new website, residents are encouraged to share their feedback about its features and usability through the online feedback form, and staff will continue to monitor analytics to make further adjustments as necessary.”
