City's Official Web Site
« on: September 13, 2004, 05:42:13 PM »
The City of Hackensack recently hired me to oversee the redesign of the City's official web site at www.hackensack.org.  The redesign is expected to take place over the next few months.  Once running, I will maintain the site on a full time basis. 

In addition, I was hired as an "information specialist," responsible for gathering and disseminating information of interest to City residents, employees, business and other entities.

The City's new web site is a Content Management System ("CMS").  This system will enable the City to update its web site on a regular basis, without the need to do so via a commercial web design/hosting company.  As a result, the City's site will provide fresh, useful and dynamic content.

The new site will also feature a wide range of commonly used forms, calendar, polls, a "citizen request form", email notification and other tools designed to increase the flow of information between the City administration and City residents.

I look forward to this opportunity to better serve the Hackensack Community.  Please email me with any questions.

Someone mentioned to me that a high school student wrote an opinion piece  that was critical of the City's decision to hire someone (me) to maintain the City's official website.  It doesn't appear on North Jersey Media's site (as far as I can tell) or in the February 16th edition of the Bergen News (published every Wednesday). 

If anyone can find it, please email it to me and/or post it as a follow-up post to this topic.  Discussion on this issue is welcome. 

Thank you.
