The city’s revamped website has gone live.

The web site was mentioned just the other day in the newspaper.

Formally tabbed as a legal assistant for the administration, Gahan also announced that Michael Hall will serve as the head of city operations. Hall is a University of Louisville graduate and was a founding member of Gahan’s 2011 mayoral campaign committee … Gahan credited Hall with preparing the new city website for launch in an effort to improve communications with the public.

Meanwhile, at Twitter, we see this posting from Lesa Seibert, a Louisville web designer:

Looks like we didn’t localize at all on that one, did we?

Are we to surmise this was Hall’s choice of contractors?

Whom do we thank?

The site itself looks fairly good. Here are three random observations

  • Develop New Albany is listed at least three times, under sections for Residents, Business and Visitors. One Southern Indiana appears under Business, the Urban Enterprise Association is briefly noted under Boards and Commissions, and New Albany First – the sole entity in the city dedicated to independent local business – is not listed at all.
  • The late Kevin Hammersmith’s name still tops the Parks Board.
  • The two Bicentennial Commission slots created by the council for Mayor Gahan to make appointments appear to have been filled with John Coffman and Pat Harrison, boosting the average age of commission members even higher.

Readers, how does the city’s new website look to you?
