After many months of hard work, collaboration and a few pushed back deadlines, the Heartland Web Redesign Committee is pleased to announce that the Agency’s redesigned website will launch by the end of the day on Tuesday, March 16! The Committee is confident that the new site will improve communication between the Agency and its clients and partners, including staff members.
The redesigned site is the culmination of the work of the Web Redesign Committee and many staff members who have updated and enhanced the site’s content to better reflect the myriad of programs and services that the Agency offers. The new site is designed to reflect a more modern website by representing everything an organization has to offer, answering clients’ questions and providing timely and accurate information. The redesign was created with input from our stakeholders and our staff and was designed with the end-user in mind. You should find the arrangement of content and navigation much more user-friendly. We will remind you that there are now five tabs to search under—Parents, Educators, Leaders, Job Seekers and Partners. These areas should guide site visitors to the content they need in a much easier way.
The URL of the site hasn’t changed; it is still http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us. If you haven’t already, please take some time to look through the site to see what is new and improved. When talking with parents, teachers, administrators or anyone who may be interested, make it a point to let them know about our redesigned site.
If you find any areas that you have concerns about, send an e-mail to comms@aea11.k12.ia.us. You may also talk to members of the Web Redesign Committee: Arletta Dawson (chairperson), Evan Abbey, Joshua Burke, Mary Cabeen, Courtney Croatt, Lynn McCartney, Sol Rajch, Julie Sypersma and Jennifer Gilmore.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we have worked through the task of redesigning the Agency’s web presence. We are confident that the wait was worthwhile!
