The city of Durango has updated its website to improve navigation and accessibility on mobile devices.<\/p>\n

CivicPlus, a New York-based municipal website design firm, awarded Durango a website makeover in 2011 that paid for the redesign of the city\u2019s online presence, said Amber Blake, assistant city manager.<\/p>\n

The redesign, which started about a year ago, cost the city only $6,625, Blake said. That is much less than the $35,000 it would have cost had the city not been awarded the redesign, Blake said.<\/p>\n

The expenses the city did pay covered ancillary costs, she said, like integrating the library\u2019s page, remapping the website and training staff how to use it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just so much more user friendly,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The shell of the website, www.durangogov.org<\/a>, has changed but most of the content is the same, Blake said. The city transfered all information, and that process gave staff a chance to change anything that was outdated.<\/p>\n

The website was redesigned to be more accessible on mobile devices, Blake said. The old website was clunky and difficult to navigate on phones or tablets, she said.<\/p>\n

The new mobile site offers easy-to-access tabs that link to areas that typically receive the most clicks, such as DGOV Television, the city code and agendas and minutes.<\/p>\n
