The Geary County Commission has signed a contract with Civics Plus to design a new more user friendly county web site.

Commissioner Keith Ascher said, “For anybody that’s tried going onto our web site it is a nightmare, it’s not user friendly, it’s needed some attention for quite some time. So we had several of the department heads and our Human Resources Director research for us, and there are several companies out there that will redesign the web site for you.”

The cost of the contract was $35,000 plus an annual maintenance fee. Ascher estimated it would probably take about six months to complete the project.
