Santa Fe Irrigation District Upgrades Government Website with Powerful CMS
Vision CMSTM Increases Connectivity Between District and Citizens
Date: 4/23/2012

The Santa Fe Irrigation District is proud to announce the launch of its new government website. Launched earlier this week, this dynamic government website was created with the guidance of Vision Internet, a national leader in government website development.

The new website showcases a sleek, new homepage designed. The naviSanta Fe Irrigation, CAgation has been updated to include dropdown menus, quick links, and a powerful search bar to efficiently move users throughout the website. Key buttons found on the homepage link users to top interior destinations with the news and calendar feed immediately shares time-sensitive information.

The overall functionality of the new website far surpasses that of its predecessor for one simple reason - the Vision CMS™. This powerful government content management system enables both technical and non-technical staff members to easily update and maintain the website through the use of user-friendly tools, such as:

• Browser-based administration and WYSIWYG text editing
• Multi-tiered review and approval cycles allowing departments to manage their own content
• Automatic mobile site updates
• Scheduled content review to ensure information does not get out of date
• Integrated e-notification with automatic archiving and other tools

The Vision CMS™ is also the technological platform for the website’s many new online services, such as online bill payments, an e-notification system with automatic archiving functionality, dynamic calendar feeds, and searchable staff directories.

“When the decision was made to update our website, we found Vision Internet to be the most well suited website company for our needs,” said Management Analyst Jessica Parks. "The flexibility of their government content management system (the Vision CMS™) has played an important role in enhancing online services and managing content on our website."

The Imperial Irrigation District and Sweetwater Authority are two other examples of special service districts that are keeping citizens well informed by using the Vision CMS™. For those interested, Vision Internet provides an informative demonstration of the Vision CMS™ through their website.
