Ridgewood seeks feedback on new municipal website

JULY 22, 2014    LAST UPDATED: TUESDAY, JULY 22, 2014, 3:14 PM

Before a more “user-friendly” village website is launched this fall, the municipality wants more resident feedback.

According to Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld, the village has assembled a focus group to test the website and comment on its visual appearance, content, ease of use and search/navigation capabilities. The group is open, and others who want to participate can email dhansen@ridgewoodnj.net. The revamp is being handled by Ridgewood’s network administrator, Dylan Hansen.

“Our focus group currently consists of residents, business representatives and internal staff. We do have some web designers in the focus group as well,” the village manager said. “By Aug. 1, we will synthesize all of the input and prepare the new website for its launch.”

Sonenfeld noted that the new website will “be more visually appealing, easier to navigate, and most importantly, will have a user-friendly search engine.” It will also feature a full business directory and other business-friendly elements, based on the input of business owners.

The launch date is scheduled for early fall, but feedback will be welcomed “even after the website is live and in production,” Sonenfeld said.

  1. I don’t want to see Mr. Mayor’s photo on the home page, but I’m holding out very little hope.

  2. yeah right.

  3. Oh his picture will be on it for sure.

  4. Unfortunately, Mr. Hansen is inept and subliterate. Only with someone else running the redesign can it work. Also the town must put some money into it. Free software is inadequate.
