Exit133.com: City of Tacoma Launching New Website

City of Tacoma Launching New Website (31. May 2006, 06:13 by Derek Young) ~ Slow News Day

First The News Tribune launches a new homepage a few weeks ago. Now this… The City of Tacoma is apparently launching a redesigned website sometime today. Is this news? It is to me and possibly a few of you only because we try to navigate the site on a regular basis and find ourselves lost. Will it be better? We’ll see.

Doesn’t seem like they ever finished updating it last time around…

someone over there has a twisted sense of humor- check out the events page for 3/2/2006â€¦

http://cityoftacoma.bisc.com/Page.aspx?nid=258&view=calendar&keyword=&range=none&category=0

maybe they should proof the site and get rid of test data before they release it to the publicâ€¦

Morgan—how did you manage to navigate to the specific page? I can’t seem to replicate getting to the cityoftacoma.bisc.com domain using the navigation…

(I ask because our company shares an office with BIS, and I want to let them know.)

I have a screenshot for my records.

Well, the mess appears to be cleaned up. A couple of minutes ago the calendar came up empty, and just now it is redirecting to the live domain… Derek, your screenshot may be all that remains.

The new web page is much better as it shows where you are in the site at all times.

By the way, there are some new additions to the filthy fifteen. Cameras anyone?

I doubt the new listings will be salvagable.

Nice to see it updated. There was a lot of really outdated stuff on the Economic Development webpage. It was talking about the Museum of Glass opening next year, in 2002, and the proposed office towers in the Dome District—-really old news.

They still have a lot of broken links though. They need to run some web software on it and clean it up.

...it would be nice if the city could consolidate all its different “projects” under one URL! It seems like they have at least dozen different websites… and much stale info…
