Aldennen Mull Town's
Web Site Design, Content
The aldermen discussed the
opportunities a town Web
site could present, such as a
place to post notices.
By Amanda Wilson
Staff Writer
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
examined possible content for its future
town Web site on Tuesday night,
responding to the growing 21st century
requirement to be techno-sawy.
Andy Vogel, technology administra
tor for the town of Carrboro, led the
aldermen in a brainstorming session to
cultivate ideas about the Web site’s con
tent and structure.
Under the moderation of Mayor Pro
Tern Jacquelyn Gist, the aldermen dis
cussed topics such as site structure, nav
igation, headings, graphics and content.
“This is a big, big project for the town
to undertake,” Gist said.
She said the process would involve
getting input from citizens. It is unclear
when the site will be launched.
The aldermen asked questions and
discussed ideas as Vogel projected exist
ing Web sites onto an overhead screen.
He showed the aldermen a Carrboro
intranet site called ELVIS, the employ
ee link to valuable information services,
that is a resource for staff employees.
Vogel also distributed a response
sheet to guide the aldermen’s discussion

A question on die
sheet asked if the
aldennen pre
ferred highly
graphical and visu
ally appealing or
clean sharp and to
the point.
Alderman Alex
Zaffron suggested
a combination of
both.
“The Web site
shouldn’t be too
department-centric
or citizen-centric,”
Alderman
Diana McDuffee
says the Web site
should contain
useful information
about Carrboro.
he said. “You can’t predict what people
are going to be looking for.”
Alderman Diana McDuffee said she
thought the Web site’s structure would
be important because the site might be
someone’s only impression of the town.
“It’s probably die way people will
interact with government as time goes
on,” she said.
McDuffee said she got a lot of ideas
for the path the Web site should take
from a leadership conference she
attended at the IBM Advanced Business
Institute.
“I think (Carrboro’s technology staff)
made a real good start with the internal
Web site,” she said.
McDuffee said the site should be
made easy to update, and that it should
offer a no-graphics option for slower
computers.

She said the site might also feature
information regarding parking, bus
stops, bike routes and shopping maps. It
might also include a photo gallery of the
town, event schedules and minutes from
past meetings.
Mayor Mike Nelson said he thought
the site should maintain a high degree
of accessibility and use simple language.
“I want to see ‘trash,’ not ‘solid
waste,’” he said in reference to avoiding
administrative jargon. Nelson said the
Web site should think like a citizen
thinks.
He also suggested a forum that would
allow citizens to post their own
announcements. Nelson said such a
forum was already used by a California
based site that allows rental clients to
post rental property.
But Alderman Allen Spalt said he
wanted to make sure that the Web site
was comprehensible.
“I don’t want to lose sight of the fact
that people don’t want to spend their
life navigating government,” he said.
Vogel, who has worked for the town
for a year and two months, said many of
the ideas the aldennen presented would
be feasible as the Web site develops
over time.
“This is an ongoing evolution of how
to disseminate information to the pub
lic.”

For the Record
In the April 4 article “New Student
Body Officers Take Oaths,” Dustyn
Baker was incorrectly identified as a
former student body president Baker is
a former student body president candi

An April 4 photograph incorrectly
identified the subject as Curtis Cotton

Casia Evanofski and Daniel Holden.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the errors.
