Bethany Beach town officials recently announced the "official launch" of their new web site, http://www.townofbethanybeach.com/ hoping to provide assistance to residents and visitors quickly and easily.

John "Jack" Walsh, Bethany council member, said the communications committee would like some net surfers to try it out and offer any ideas they may have to improve the site.

Walsh said the site has more than 18 content areas to choose from and virtually all current town information is now online. Site visitors will find town government documents including council meetings and agendas, three events calendars and a searchable business database of licensed town businesses. He said there is even a section with F.A.Q.s--Frequently Asked Questions.

"The self-editing and back-end database features save the [town] staff time and money," he said. It saves money because the system does not require outside help to update information or long training courses for town employees, Walsh added.

So take a peek, find out what is going on in the Town of Bethany and give the communications committee guidance or applause at http://www.townofbethanybeach.com/
