YORK NE, July 26, 2024 - The York County Development Corporation (YCDC) is excited to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website, yorkdevco.com, developed in partnership with Golden Shovel Agency. The upgraded site promises to deliver an enhanced user experience, improved functionality, and a visually striking design, reflecting YCDC's commitment to innovation and excellence.
"We absolutely love the look and functionality of the redesigned website. It feels like a major upgrade, even though we were not unhappy with the last version", said Lisa Hurley, Executive Director at YCDC. "Our staff has particularly noticed that the menu aligns more intuitively with the back-end. The drop-down menu function significantly improves the site's usability and overall user experience."
One of the standout features of the redesigned site is the captivating video banner and the diverse array of photos that bring the website to life. The integration of YCDC's primary color, red, has been seamlessly incorporated into the design, offering a bold yet balanced aesthetic that does not overwhelm.
YCDC had several key goals for the redesign. Enhancing user-friendliness was a priority, based on feedback that the previous site made it difficult to find information, due to the fact that we had years of information on it. The new design aims to catch the eye of both businesses and potential talent, providing a dual focus that is challenging to achieve in one platform. Ensuring brand consistency by prominently featuring YCDC's main color in a visually appealing manner was another important goal, successfully realized by the Golden Shovel team.
"The redesigned website is a significant step forward in our marketing efforts. It is easy to use from both a business and talent perspective, which is hard to do in one site," Hurley added. "This upgrade will undoubtedly enhance our ability to attract businesses and talent to York County."
YCDC's collaboration with Golden Shovel has been a positive and productive experience. "Once again, I am very happy with the new website. The whole Golden Shovel team was willing to listen to us and figure out our needs through our meetings," praised Hurley.
