Welcome to our new website!
Today, the new website of the municipality of Brummen has been launched. The website has been designed with extra attention to digital accessibility and ease of use. The goal is for all residents to be able to use the website easily, including those who are less digitally skilled or have a disability.
The launch took place in the hall of the town hall. Mayor and resident Rosita unveiled the screen together, revealing the new homepage. Rosita contributed to the website’s development based on her own experiences with digital accessibility.
Accessibility and user-friendliness
During the unveiling, the mayor explained why this new website is important. He stated that the municipality wanted a website “that simply works for everyone.” According to him, everyone should be able to navigate online easily, “whether you’re very handy with websites or not.” He emphasized that the input from residents was invaluable. “Thanks to their experiences, we could better see what works and what doesn’t. This has made the website clearer and more accessible. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together.”
The new website features a clear layout and uses plain language. Residents can now find information more quickly, handle online matters, and submit reports more easily.
Developed in collaboration with the community
During development, the municipality worked with a resident test group, the Social Advisory Council, and the municipal council. They provided feedback on the structure, texts, and accessibility, which was incorporated into the final result.
