Editorial: The Tale Of Two Websites

Written by Rich Forestano Friday, 07 September 2012 00:00

Clunky, slow and bland. Those are three words that would’ve described the Village of Mineola website…not anymore. The village recently unveiled a new website, which is mile better than its predecessor. The calendar is clearly visible, the load time is quick, not slovenly and what was once gray and red is now village-oriented in orange and white.

A welcomed change assuredly, the website redesign will turn more frowns upside down with those “slide boxes” going the way of the dodo bird.
