Website Refresh Incoming By: Orange County Communicaitons Department
As Parks & Recreation prepares to launch their new registration platform, other Orange County online services are receiving a facelift too. The Orange County website is undergoing its redesign project in partnership with our vendors. Every few years, the website, www.orangecountyva.gov, is refreshed with new visuals, improved accessibility, consideration for navigation improvements, and more. The last redesign was completed in 2022 and this year’s will launch later this summer. As part of this update, the Orange County Library’s webpages will now be fully incorporated into the main Orange County website. The biggest advantages will include strengthened internal update capability and WCAG accessibility compliance. If you’ve set your favorites and bookmarks, don’t worry, the www.ocplva.org homepage address will still work, but any saved bookmarks to internal pages may need to be updated after the launch. In collaboration with library staff, the new site is being built to maintain the pieces that work well and make improvements where possible. For example, the WhoFi-based program calendar will carry over to the new site, as well as the familiar catalog for finding materials like books, DVDs, and more.
