County Launches New and Improved Website
A people-focused platform
We hope you like this website, because we built it for you.
The new and improved LSAC.ca reflects the County's commitment to transparency, engagement and service delivery. We've organized our main menu to make it easier than ever before to navigate to the information and services you need. We've also placed a big 'search' field front and centre where you can type in a few keywords and let the website find what you need.
Nearly a year in planning, design and development, our new platform is purpose-built to quickly connect you with the news, information, people and resources you're looking for.
Website highlights include:
- Service-based navigation with an emphasis on service delivery and ease of use
- A brand new design that looks good and showcases the beauty and diversity of our County
- Dedicated landing pages for all departments
- Enhanced search functionality site-wide that helps users get the news and resources they need
- Site-wide feedback buttons that help continually improve the website's user experience
Website Redesign FAQ
Why a new website?
The previous version of LSAC.ca was launched way back in 2016 — which is an eternity in the rapidly-evolving digital age. It was becoming increasingly difficult to meet the standards of usability, design and service delivery that are expected by staff, citizens and other stakeholders.
Clearly, the time had come to modernize the site's technology, improve the user experience, and add useful features like online payments and permit applications. In doing so, we're positioning the County for optimal service delivery and sustained success.
I'm not a techie. How will this new website impact me?
From the drawing board right up launch day, accessibility has been our primary focus. A great deal of effort has gone into creating a website that's easy for everyone to use — regardless of age, technical proficiency or internet connection.
From larger, more legible typestyles and intuitive navigational structure to rock-solid search capabilities and smooth, swift page loads, our municipal platform has been purpose-built for service delivery.
My internet access isn't the best. Will I be able to use the new website?
"New" doesn't have to mean heavy, slow or complicated. In fact, this website is just the opposite.
On the new version of LSAC.ca, extraneous code and unnecessary features have been eliminated. Every aspect has been refined and optimized to the best of our abilities. For example: we've reduced the file size of all images by an average of 85% site-wide with no visible quality loss. We've also reduced the size of downloadable PDF documents by about 65% on average.
The end result is a lightning-fast, user-friendly platform that's purpose-built for delivering information, services and resources to the citizens, staff and stakeholders of Lac Ste. Anne County.
We're excited about how well the new website performs — and we hope you will be too!
What's next?
We are working toward adding ecommerce functionality to the new County website. Soon, you'll have the convenient option of paying common County fees online — like taxes, utilities and permit applications.
