Longview's newly-built online presence represents a memorable presentation of the city that is both eye-pleasing and easy-to-navigate. Developed by local company Cypress Interactive, the site offers visitors the opportunity to share their opinions of the site's design with city officials, clicking on the online survey, which adds a feel of interactivity to its identity.
The newly-launched web site virtually unites all of the city business, services and activities, thus making Longview citizens more aware of what their city has to offer on a real-time basis. The effect of communication has been achieved through the addition of new features such as a moving and relocation resources site, online employment applications, boards and commissions and volunteer opportunities, as well as the city's updated code and ordinances.
The Web site offers a variety of options for getting involved in the city's social life. The page Getting Involved with the City provides information on how to take part in City Council meetings, how to serve on a board or commission, how to become a mentor. It also gives information on voter registration and on adult and youth activities.
The city's Web site also provides visitors with access to some important sources such as the Channel 5 television screens, a Did You Know page and information on city awards and other recognitions. It offers links to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Longview Partnership and the Longview Economic Development Corp. web sites, as well as Longview police, fire department and library web pages.
