STS <br />N.C. Oep~artmenf of Cammeme <br />Ollice of InlprpWtron Tecnnala~ Services <br />3. Benefi#s <br />6 <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 flaw. <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 wilt 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 />• W3C -World Wide Web Consortium design standards <br />• Method /1 -- Project Management and Development Methodology <br />4.
