On Friday, March 16, a new website will be unveiled for the City of Lakeway at www.lakeway-tx.gov.

The new website will allow the city to have a design with better visual representation, Deputy City Manager Chessie Blanchard said.

"The old site was focused on information, whereas the new site will include service as well," Blanchard said.

The new site will include:

A new central menu, which will help users navigate the site

A new global navigation

A request section where residents can report things such as potholes or street lights that are out and get responses from staff as the requests are being handled

An intranet for city staff to access information, such as human resource information

Video and slideshows

Look for the "Let us know" link to fill out a request to city staff or the "Notify Me" link on the homepage to receive alerts from the city, such as special events, city job openings or public meeting announcements.

"The website is our central hub of communications. It allows people to do business online and find the information they need at their convenience. It's an excellent way to build good relationships with citizens and to make visitors feel welcome," Lakeway City Manager Steve Jones said in a news release for the new website.

CivicPlus, a company specialized in building city and county e-government communication systems, maintains the city's website.
