Placerville, CA — El Dorado County will be providing a better
experience to the public with its new website that will debut at approximately
5:30 pm on March 11, 2016. The new website design has been created to make information
more readily available and improve navigation while allowing functionality with
modern technology. The County encourages the public to visit the site and make
comments about it at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/edcwebsite.
It has been
10 years since El Dorado County has changed its website. During that time,
technology and the public’s daily interaction with county government on the web
has changed. These changes include the use of social media and citizens
accessing the County’s webpage through mobile technology. All users will see improvements in these areas
along with many other enhancements.
In addition,
the County made it easier for users to access popular functions on the website
like the email subscription service. The email subscription service allows for
the public to receive automatic email notifications on a multitude of different
County topics that the user selects. For example, a user can receive email
updates on subjects ranging from land use to public notices on roads to
information from the Sheriff’s Office. Currently, the County has approximately
11,000 different email subscribers to the service.
The new
website will work with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer version 9
or higher.
