New Willard city website goes live with mobile features, alerts and admin tools

City Manager Jeremy and staff demonstrated the newly launched city website and walked council through admin features, mobile responsiveness and content workflows. Staff showed how to edit banners, manage news posts, link to forms and ensure ADA compliance by adding text descriptions for images and remediated PDFs.

The presenter said the site can publish alerts, show upcoming meetings and events, and will soon support texting for urgent notifications. “If at any point you do wanna use email or text notifications, this is the same place you'll go for that too,” the presenter said during the demo. Staff said the site should reduce routine phone and email traffic and make it easier for residents to find permits, news and meeting documents. The manager thanked staff (Maddie and Ellie) for moving the project live and said training on texting features was scheduled for the coming week.
