WTS 6 <br /> N.C.Department of Commerce <br /> Office of Information Tecmnoloff Services <br /> ................................. <br /> 3. Benefits <br /> • A redesigned web site will convey the true essence and mindset of Orange County-it will provide <br /> the first and, hopefully, lasting impression of the County. <br /> • Navigation of the sites (main and department pages) will be standardized, easy to use, and <br /> logical in flow. <br /> • Redesign of the sites will contain consistent components (e.g., navigation) but will allow for each <br /> department to customize their "look and feel' to properly express the uniqueness of the service <br /> they provide. The "look and feel' for each departmental web site will be driven by color, graphics, <br /> and content. Standard site navigation and style sheets will be used by all departments. <br /> • Orange County personnel will be able to maintain the pages via simple maintenance tools that <br /> BTS will identify and test. Training will be offered on selected tools. <br /> • Redesign will ensure the Orange County web site is compliant with the NC Technical Architecture <br /> and web design standards adapted by ITS that include the following: <br /> • NC GILS -North Carolina Government Information Locator Service Standards for Public <br /> Information <br /> • IEEE—Testing and Design Standards <br /> • American Disability Act (ADA)-Standards for the visually impaired <br /> • WK—World Wide Web Consortium design standards <br /> • Method/1 — Project Management and Development Methodology <br /> 4.
