Coming Changes to City Website
We're thrilled to share some exciting developments with our website that mark significant milestones for our organization. As we continue to innovate and improve, these updates will provide a more engaging and efficient online experience for both our staff and the community we serve.
The official City of Fort Myers website is nearing completion of a 7-month re-design process by our government website hosting vendor CivicPlus, the leading government website provider.
Roadmap Outlook:
New Website Look
launching July 9th
We're rolling out a refreshed look for our website. This update will bring a modern and user-friendly interface that reflects our commitment to connecting citizens and visitors to our government services.
Website Domain Name Change to fortmyers.gov
tentatively scheduled for August 9th
To make our online presence more intuitive and accessible, we will be transitioning to a new domain: fortmyers.gov. This change will help unify our brand and make it easier for users to find, trust and access our services. We understand this will have a significant impact and will provide further information in the weeks to come.
Introduction of a Website Virtual Assistant
in development
We are excited to announce our partnership with IBM | Watson.ai to create a virtual assistant for visitors to the City website. This innovative tool will offer real-time assistance, providing quick and accurate answers to inquiries, ensuring that everyone can get the assistance they need.
