New website puts council services at your fingertips

 

MORE and more council services are being made available at the touch of a button with the launch of Carmarthenshire County Council’s new look website.

As the number of people going online continues to grow, the council is making it easier for people to get information and report issues at any time of day or night.

The new site – www.carmarthenshire.gov.wales – has been designed to help people find what they’re looking for quickly, with topical issues highlighted across the site.

It is completely mobile responsive which means council information will be available on the go across smartphones, tablets and other devices.

The council’s marketing and media team has also worked with focus groups to ensure the site is accessible, including features allowing people to hear the website being read aloud by a screen reader, or translated in to any language of their choice.

Cllr Emlyn Dole, Leader and executive board member for marketing and media, said: “Our website has on average 3,560 hits every day, and our visitor numbers are consistently growing. The new look site will make it easier for residents to access the information they need when they want and how they want, be it on a mobile phone, tablet or desktop computer.

“Based on visitor feedback and analytics, we have made it even easier for people to get to our most popular services with as few clicks as possible – they can now check their bin collection day and colour straight from the home page, for example.

“Whilst we understand that many people will still wish to speak to a member of staff during office hours, for many people the convenience of a website makes contacting us easier and we’re pleased to be launching a refreshed site that will adapt and grow as people’s needs and interests change.”

 

  • We are adding to our online services all the time. If you have any suggestions on council services that you’d like to request online, we’d love to hear from you – contact digital@carmarthenshire.gov.uk or call 01267 234567

Mae’n hollol ymatebol i ddyfeisiau symudol sy’n golygu bydd gwybodaeth y cyngor ar gael ar ffonau clyfar, llechi digidol a dyfeisiau eraill.

Mae’r tîm marchnata a’r cyfryngau yn y cyngor hefyd wedi gweithio gyda grwpiau ffocws i sicrhau bod y wefan newydd yn hygyrch, gan gynnwys nodweddion sy’n caniatáu i bobl glywed y wefan yn cael ei darllen ar goedd gan raglen darllen sgrin, neu gyfieithu’r wefan i’w hiaith ddewisol.

Bydd y wefan newydd yn sicrhau ei bod yn haws i drigolion gael y wybodaeth sydd ei hangen arnynt, pan fo’i hangen ac yn y modd y maen nhw’n dymuno, boed ar ffôn symudol, llechen ddigidol neu gyfrifiadur bwrdd gwaith.

“Yn seiliedig ar sylwadau gan ymwelwyr a dadansoddwyr, rydym wedi sicrhau ei bod yn haws i bobl ddefnyddio ein gwasanaethau mwyaf poblogaeth gyda chyn lleied o gliciau â phosibl – bellach, gallant edrych i weld pa ddiwrnod y bydd y sbwriel yn cael ei gasglu, a pha liw, er enghraifft.

“Er ein bod yn deall y bydd nifer o bobl yn dymuno siarad ag aelod o staff yn ystod oriau arferol y swyddfa, i lawer o bobl mae cyfleustra’r wefan yn golygu ei bod yn haws cysylltu â ni ac rydym ni’n falch iawn o gael lansio ein gwefan newydd a fydd yn addasu ac yn datblygu wrth i anghenion a diddordebau pobl newid.”
