What are the Benefits of a Department Web Site?

As we say in the business, the benefits are endless:

Improve Customer Service
- 24-hour access to information about the department and its services
- centralized location for emergency announcements (weather cancellations, schedule changes)
- contact you electronically at times that are convenient for participants

Boost Marketing and Advertising
- as people are attracted to your site for specific information, they are exposed to many of your other services
- create a department "listserve" to send out key announcements at once

Increase Office Efficiency and Productivity
- as more and more users find their answers on the site, you will spend less time on the phone (this is not meant to replace personal contact)
- allow people to contact you electronically, which can be replied to at more convenient times
