The City of Las Cruces has announced the launch of its new user-friendly website, designed to highlight the community's beauty through video and local photography.
The updated website prioritizes user experience and ease of navigation. It can be accessed at https://LasCruces.Gov/. The site features a modern layout and intuitive navigation, aiming to improve accessibility for all users.
Enhanced ADA compliance is a key feature of the new website. An accessibility widget, appearing as a blue or white icon in the form of a human with outstretched arms, allows users to adjust their screens to reduce flashing and bright colors, aiding those who experience seizures. Another feature helps individuals with ADHD focus better by minimizing distractions on the page.
City administration emphasizes the importance of multilingual communication due to its proximity to the border. "We want everyone to have access to the information the City provides including programs and services, and transparency and accountability," stated city officials.
Residents looking for job opportunities with the City or planning to pay utility bills are encouraged to explore the website further for additional community programs.
The City invites residents to visit https://LasCruces.Gov/ and explore its features aimed at improving customer experience.
Additionally, several events are scheduled:
- Realize Las Cruces Open House on August 8, 2024, from 6 – 8 PM at City Hall Lerdo Room (2007B), located at 700 N Main Street.
