Nutley’s Offical Town Website Offers Lots of Useful Information

There are a lot of really useful, interesting, and cool websites that contain information about Nutley or are written by people in Nutley. I am going to pointing out websites from Nutley that I think people should know about. I’m going to start of the series with the Town’s official website, NutleyNJ.org

What Type of Information is on the Site?

NutleyNJ.org contains information on the town’s Departments, Boards, and Agencies. There is also a great deal of interesting and useful information on News, Events, and Activities going on in town.

The site is cleanly laid out and provides clear ways to get to all of its information. You can see the main pages across the site’s header. (below)

There are also links to events and other information on the page.

Target Audience

Citizens of Nutley, NJ who need information about the numerous government agencies delivering services to the town.

Best Features

There are two great features that make the site so useful:

1. Service Request submissions
2. The Emergency Notification system

Service Requests allow you to send request directly to the appropriate department in town for things like Street Repairs, Recycling Pickup, and many other issues. You know how hard it is to figure out who you’re supposed to call for these things. Now, just fill out a simple form and your done. (Except for the waiting around for someone to show up.)

The Emergency Notification System allows the town to deliver notifications on emergencies and other important events to every resident, employee, student, and parent. This is done through a system that is powered by the Citizen Communication Center, which provides these services to other governments and organizations. You can create an ID and set your preferences for the manner and types of information that you and your family receive. (RSS, email, phone, instant message, etc.)

Wrapping Up

I’m very impressed with the job that the town has done setting up a clean, simple, informative website. Now, when I need to find out something about the Police, Schools, Garbage, or Commissioners Board, I know just where to go. If you live in Nutley, I highly recommend adding NutleyNJ.org to your bookmarks.
