CHESTERTOWN — Kent County Government has launched a newly redesigned website, created to provide residents, businesses and visitors with a more user friendly, modern and accessible online experience.
The updated website, available at www.kentcounty.com, “features a fresh, mobile-responsive design, improved navigation and enhanced accessibility standards, ensuring that all users can quickly find the information and services they need,” a news release states.
The redesign reflects Kent County’s commitment to transparency, efficiency and community engagement, according to the news release.
Key features of the new website include:
• Streamlined navigation: simplified menus to make it easier for users to locate county services, resources and news.
• Mobile-friendly experience: optimized for viewing on smartphones, tablets and
desktop devices.
• Enhanced accessibility: built to meet modern web accessibility standards, providing a better experience for all users, including those with disabilities.
• Interactive tools: quick access to online bill payment, forms, business directory and calendar of events.
• Fresh look and feel: a modern design that highlights the beauty, history and vibrant community of Kent County, Maryland.
The new website has been a year-long collaboration with the county’s Information Technology and Economic and Tourism Development departments, with Sandy Nordhoff (IT) and Katie Abbott (ETD) leading the way.
According to the news release, input from all county departments was included, “ensuring accurate information, easy navigation and user-friendly access to county services and resources.”
Another plus is the updated website offers a more convenient way to submit an event for the events calendar. You no longer need an event manager account; anyone can submit a request for an event to be added to the calendar by completing the form located at http://bit.ly/47NIqZz.
Businesses and organizations are invited to review their directory listing and submit any updates or revisions to https://bit.ly/465ZfO6.
The county also welcomes residents and visitors to explore the new website and share feedback to help continue improving the user experience. Feedback may be shared by emailing econdev@kentgov.org.
