The Orange County Sanitation District recently reworked its strategy on engaging and connecting with their community. Part of this updated strategy was the launch of a new, interactive website – www.ocsewers.com.
The new website gives a friendly face to the District through the use of positive employee photos and conversational content. An updated design welcomes and engages site visitors with vibrant colors, playful fonts, and a message of “We’re here for you.” Meanwhile, graphics mimicking the flow of nature encapsulate the sensibility of environmental sustainability actively promoted by the District.
“We’ve created an interactive website based on usability and quick access to information,” noted Michael Gold, Public Affairs Manager. “For example, everything the public would want to know about the District, such as Board agendas or staff salaries, is contained in a single section called OpenGov. We eliminated drop-down menus to reduce clutter and created landing pages, placing all key information within a few clicks of the homepage.”
The new website is powered by the Vision CMS™. This government content management system provides a number of functions to make it easy for both technical and non-technical staff of the District to manage website content. In depth, on-site training was provided to the District by Vision Internet to ensure a well maintained, informative website for years to come.
A number of service districts across the US have redesigned their websites to better serve their communities including the Imperial Irrigation District, CA and the Health Care District of Palm Beach County, FL.
