TOWN LAUNCHES A NEW WEBSITE
The town has updated it’s website, offering an easier to use format and a new look. For the past couple of months Tanji Cifuni, the town’s community development and project manager, and Town Clerk Carla Vitale worked with a company called Virtual Town Hall to build the website.
“It took a little over two months to come up with the look, design and flow of the site,†Cifuni said. “VTH came out to train our staff two weeks ago.â€
A soft launch last Wednesday to work out the tweaks, Cifuni said the site will be a constant work in progress to make sure everything stays up-to-date.
“The new look and feel of the site is refreshing. It is very easy for the user to navigate through the site and it is very easy for the administrators to update information remotely on the site,†Cifuni said.
The site includes the municipal calendar, the ability to pay bills electronically, a Discover Winthrop section with links to the Chamber of Commerce and the future ferry service.
