NEWS RELEASE
County of Hawai‘i Unveils Refreshed, User-Friendly Website
The County of Hawai'i is pleased to report that it will go live with a refreshed website on
Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
Since the initiative to redesign the County of Hawai‘i’s website started in December
2016, the project has been a multi-agency effort to redesign the old website, and
provide information and online services in an improved user-friendly and accessible
way.
New features include a more robust public documents search function, ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance with regulations for State and local
governments, and a securely-hosted environment.
The County worked with Granicus, a leading provider of government website design, to
build a site that was informed by analytics and feedback from residents, to ensure that
the site is reflective of the County’s unique needs.
The current domain hawaiicounty.gov will redirect to the new secure site on
Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer.
