Select Board discusses website redesign, .gov domain, and possible IT staffing
Summary
Town Manager Jessica Cyr proposed updating the town website to be more functional for residents and suggested considering a move from .org to .gov; the board discussed retaining marketing content and hiring a part-time or full-time staff person to support web and IT needs.
Town Manager Jessica Cyr told the Select Board she "would like to update the website to make it more functional for public use" and noted the current site acts more as a marketing tool than an information hub. She raised the option of moving the town site from a .org to a .gov domain and asked the board to consider how marketing content should be preserved during a redesign.
Board members discussed the look and direction of a redesigned site and the idea of hiring a part-time or full-time person to manage the website and departmental IT needs. Jessica also informed the board that office staff planned to make changes on the site immediately so staff would not be caught off guard by future redesign plans.
