Welcome to the new and improved Ridgefield Website.
This page is a set of general guidelines for getting the most out of the Ridgefield Boro website. A website is a virtual community and like actual communities, people feel empowered when they can participate in the community. The site is designed to maximize for citizen interaction.
In addition, every page on the site has the same general look and feel enabling rapid familiarization with getting to the content and navigating the site.
Before getting started, a few terms.
Terminology
The leftmost column of every page contains the navigation of the site. There may be additional content under the bottom of the navigational area on the home page.
The center column of the home page and the right column of every other page is the content area. This is where information specific to the page being viewed is displayed.
Site Search.
The top of the navigational area contains a form for searching the entire site for a key word or phrase. Click in the input area and the prompt “Enter search word(s)” disappears. Next, enter the word or words for use in the search. If there is a match, the page or pages containing the search key are listed. Click on the link to take you to the desired page. The search will look inside PDF and Word documents as well as web pages.
What's New
The ">What's New page contains a listing of changes and additions to the Ridgefield website. The items are listed in reverse chronological order, that is, the most recent items are listed first. Each item also has an entry date which makes it very easy to see what has been modified or added since your last visit to the site.
Interaction
The ability of citizens to interact with the Ridgefield website differentiates the Ridgefield site from most other municipal websites. The interaction allows you to enter information into web base form. Some of the supplied information, such as feedback, is intended for site administrators. Some of the information, such as entries to the Calendar of Events appears on the site after being approved by a site administrator.
