Many Barnstable County website users navigate the website from both mobile devices and desktops. This website is fully mobile responsive, making it easy to navigate on all screen sizes.
Barnstable County comprises fifteen towns and encompasses the whole geographical region known as Cape Cod. “Cape Cod” and “Barnstable County” relate to the same geographic location. Barnstable County had the fourth-highest migration rate in the country in 2020. (U.S. Postal Service). This project involved combining many sub-websites for different departments into one cohesive website, making it easy for users to navigate and departments to update their websites.
Before And After

Easy-to-Use Employee Search.
We created an employee search page that allows users to quickly search for employees by name, or to filter by the department to see the different employees listed. Next to each employee’s name, users can easily access the employee’s phone number, email address, work address, and department.
There is one feed of employees on the back end of the website. It feeds into this page and loads into the individual department contact pages. This feature makes it so that the organization only has to maintain one master list of employees, which is useful and the most efficient option given the large size of Barnstable County. Visit their website at https://www.capecod.gov.
“The County’s new website is a huge improvement”, said Beth Albert, County Administrator. “It is much easier to find the calendar of meetings and meeting documents and to access to information on the numerous services provided by Barnstable County.” See the rest of the news.
