'Smart Choice' for Smart Phone-Friendly City Website

Stow recently updated its software to allow easy navigation of the city's website on smart phones.

Dale Germanos, director of information systems, called the switch a "smart choice."

"The cost of that change was only about $300," he said.

 in Stow operates the site, www.stow.oh.us, for the city. 

On the new mobile page, there is a contact button at the top for all city employee phone numbers and email addresses.

Below the contacts button, there is a list of tabs: Home; Community; Government; Departments; Current Matters; Business Development.

There is also an option to view the page as the full website, like it is seen on a computer.

"We really thought this was a worthwhile change," Germanos said.
