After nearly a year of planning and development, Tooele City Hall unveiled its new website last week.
The old site, which was designed in the mid 90s, was outdated and difficult for users to navigate, said Shilo Baker, an administrative assistant with Tooele City and the new website’s webmaster. The site now has a new design that should be more user-friendly, she said.
The site will also be more functional than the previous website, Baker said, with features that will allow residents to register online for swimming lessons and classes.
Residents will also be able to reserve space in city parks on the website, and can sign up to receive email alerts whenever a new city agenda, class, or newsletter is made available.
“People are more geared toward online registration,” Baker said, “so we wanted to offer that service.”
However, because the site is still a work in progress, Baker said some of these services, such as online registrations, will not be available until this fall. Until then, she said the city would like to invite users to send their feedback about the site via the site’s online contact form, or by calling her at 435-843-2104.
The new website is available at tooelecity.org.
The city has also started a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/tooelecity, to further improve its online presence, Baker said.
