A comment from an unidentified reader suggested I contact Village Hall about the website. I talked at length with the Village Manager, Chris Swartz, who confirmed that a website redesign is, indeed, underway. The new site uses the E-Gov engine, will be completed in March of 2007, and will cost approximately $2,400 for the initial startup, and $600/yr to maintain. The result will be a much more usable and aesthetically appealing website.
E-commerce will still not be included in the new website, an omission which mystifies me. However, any upgrade is certainly a big step from where we are today!
