Montgomery County launches new site

Montgomery County has launched a new, refreshed website,  www.montgomerycountymd.gov, as part of the Web 2.0 Redesign Project. The new site is designed to make information and services easier to access, with a modern, community-centered digital experience. It should help residents, businesses and visitors find information faster, complete tasks more easily, and connect with county services online.

In redesigning the website, the county took into consideration resident input as well as designing for mobile. According to Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, “We’re also improving accessibility and supporting multiple languages to help ensure all site visitors can get to the services and information they need.”

The redesigned website aims to improve access and ensure long-term sustainability. Key features include:

• Improved search to help users find services and information faster   
• A modern, unified design that provides a consistent user experience across departments   
• Mobile-friendly design that works across devices  
• Meets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 level AA standards and includes multilingual support for more inclusive experience   
• Improved site security, reliability, performance and long-term sustainability provided by the CitizenForward® platform
