Redesign planned for Huron East website
Dan Schwab
41101.11.1.0
The Huron East website is get-
ting a facelift and the public is being
asked for suggestions about how to
make it more accessible, informative
and aesthetically appealing.
The site, located at www.huro-
neast.com, currently has a survey
posted near the bottom of its homep-
age with seven questions about how
to improve the site.
. Participants are asked such ques-
tions as "Do you find the website
easy to navigate?" and "How would
you improve the effectiveness of this
site?"
Huron East economic development
officer Jan Hawley says the munici-
pality's economic review committee
decided it was time to revamp the
website after considering it had been
using the same format for years and
has become cluttered with almost 80
links.
"We want to make it easier to ac-
cess," Hawley says. "We don't want
to make it look too busy."
The online ' survey is completely
confidential and doesn't ask partici-
pants for their names. There is space
at the end of the survey about what
could be added to the site that is not
already there.
Hawley says although only five
people have taken the survey, their
feedback shows some strong opin-
ions.
"People have been saying `make the
pages easier to read,'" Hawley says.
"We have an aging population and

maybe the print needs to be larger."
Hawley says results of the survey
show people want to see more cur-
rent information regarding .munici-
pal affairs posted on the site and
most agree the homepage is not ap-
pealing.
"We've been talking with web
designers and they said even the
colours you select for your website
have a lot to do with how long a per-
son will linger on the site," Hawley
says.
Preliminary results of the survey
also suggest users would like to see
a search engine feature and a site
map, which would feature a list of
the pages on the website.
"There is room for improvement,"
Hawley says.
Hawley says she'd like to see about
