The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders launched a redesign of the county’s Web site at www.visitmonmouth.com, the third redesign in the last six years.

“The goal of this redesign was to give the Web site a fresh new look that is representative of the county’s continued efforts to keep its residents informed about government services and what makes Monmouth County such a great place to live,” Freeholder Director Robert D. Clifton said.

The first thing visitors to the site will notice is the bold red, white and blue color scheme. The colors were chosen to give the site a distinctly patriotic feel influenced by Monmouth County’s rich history, most notably, the Battle of Monmouth, which was the turning point in the Revolutionary War.

Attention to detail is paid throughout the design, from the lighting and pressed seal in the header to the raised look of the navigation bar and buttons.

A new calendar tab was also added to the main area of the home page, providing visitors with an at-a-glance view of upcoming events. County meetings, clinics, information session and park events are included on the main calendar.

“We want people to use the Web site as a resource,” Freeholder Thomas A. Arnone said. “Municipal leaders are accessing Shared Services information while residents and visitors can find out about things to do on the tourism pages. Either way, the county is working to improve the Web site and keep current with information.”
