Jefferson PVA's Newly Redesigned Website Garners Prestigious WebAward
Posted on September 27, 2006
The Jefferson County Property
Valuation Administration is proud to announce that they have been
honored with a 2006 Government Standard of Excellence WebAward from the
Web Marketing Association. The award recognizes the standard of
excellence for which all web sites should strive.
The new website was designed by LeapFrog Interactive, a
Louisville-based interactive agency specializing in online brand
management. Launched in April 2006, the new site features an easy,
practical and user-friendly design. It provides convenient access to
property data and offers clear and concise information about the PVA
office.
Visitors to the site can search for a property's assessed value, its
parcel identification number and its current owner. Property owners can
also download informative brochures and commonly-used PVA forms and
applications, including the popular homestead exemption. Users can even
watch an online video describing the assessment process and PVA
responsibilities.
LFI President and CEO Daniel Knapp said "We knew that the new site
offered a feature-rich user experience which goes far beyond the
typical government agency site. It's great to have that standard of
excellence confirmed by the Web Marketing Association."
More than 2,300 web sites from 35 countries were judged in 96 industry
categories during this year's WebAward competition. Judging was based
on seven criteria: design, innovation, content, technology,
interactivity, copywriting and ease of use.
