At FWP’s website-fwp.mt.gov-mobile use has surpassed 45 percent and continues to climb about 10 percent annually. The website attracts more than 4 million visits each year.
To offer the most useful website possible for desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphone users, last year FWP sought public feedback via an online questionnaire to help develop a mobile-friendly design.
“FWP website visitors asked for the change and helped us in the redesign,” said Cheryl Aldrich, the website’s content manager.
Responsive design means that FWP content will reflow to fit one’s device-no matter if it’s an iPhone, a tablet, a desktop or smart TV.
“The content will flow and be arranged clearly so you can see and use it without having to scroll from side-to-side,” Aldrich said. “It’s a considerable improvement, but like all things new, it might take a little time for users to settle into the new design.”
The FWP website will be down Dec. 18 to launch the new design which will be unveiled Dec. 19, Aldrich said.
