The Forsyth County government website – www.forsythco.com – has a new look, along with a variety of enhancements designed to improve access to county information online.

“Forsyth County government is committed to continuously improving our level of service, and with more and more people looking for information online, we sought to improve upon our website,” said County Manager Doug Derrer. “The improvements to the website were undertaken in an effort to create a more user-friendly experience for those visiting the site, and to help them find the information they are looking for quickly and easily.”

The new site features a search function, something not previously available on the county’s site, as well as improvements to the site’s layout and navigation.

Another enhancement is aimed at making information pertaining to county government meetings easier to find. All information related to county meetings – such as agendas, minutes and videos – is now located together in one convenient location. Visitors to the site can review and search meetings for the previous two year period.

“Citizens who are seeking details on a particular county meeting will be able to find all of the items related to that meeting together in one location,” said Director of Communications Jodi Gardner. “This was done in an effort to streamline the process for those looking for meeting-related information online.”

The site also features a ‘How Do I’ tab at the top of the home page, where visitors to the site can quickly find answers to some frequently asked questions.

The enhancements to the website were completed in-house by the county’s Information Systems and Technology Department staff.
