Staff of the City of Sarasota is seeking public comments “through a brief online survey” to help guide a redesign of the city’s website, www.Sarasotafl.gov, the city has announced.

The short survey, which poses questions about the current website, has been crafted to “gauge website interface and quality of experience,” a news release says. The survey responses will assist with decision-making regarding the creation of “a user-friendly website with an enhanced focus on efficiency and engagement,” the release adds.

To take the survey, visit www.Sarasotafl.gov/WebsiteSurvey. “The survey will remain open through Tuesday, Sept. 3,” the release notes.

“We’re pleased to be working on a new website,” said Information Technology Director Herminio Rodriguez in the release. “A critical first step is to assess how people interact with the website and what their current interface is like,” he added. “The survey is a great opportunity for the many and diverse individuals who use the city’s website to share their feedback,” he said.

The website redesign will include a new interactive public engagement feature that will highlight capital improvement projects and enhance community comment opportunities, the release points out.

The redesign rollout is anticipated in May 2025, it says.
