July 12, 2013 - After months of development, testing and feedback, the new Village of Oak Park website is online. The new site brings a more modern look and enhanced navigation to oak-park.us, which had relied on the same design for more than a decade.
Users will find much of same information from the old site, but organized in a more intuitive manner and with an improved search feature. The new website also is a step toward responsive design for better display on mobile devices, which are proving increasingly popular as web browsers.
All of the familiar, essential online services are available through the new site, including tools to contest and pay tickets, pay water bills and renew vehicle stickers. Much of the old site’s archival content will be migrated to the new site in the coming weeks and months.
The site displays best in Chrome, Firefox and Safari, but is compatible with Internet Explorer 8 and later versions. Users relying on older versions of IE, are urged to update their browsers or install one of the other free browsers.
The site was developed by Breakthrough Technologies, an Evanston-based firm chosen via a competitive bid.
