<p>Beaufort County has launched a new website – <a href="http://www.beaufortcountysc.gov/">www.beaufortcountysc.gov</a> – replacing the county’s old site, bcgov.net.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A release from the county touts the new site as being mobile (touch) friendly and featuring visual improvements, an enhanced and searchable archives section and more streamlined navigation. The new site also has an upgraded public meetings calendar and news section, while maintaining access to the County’s financial transparency portal, comprehensive public meeting video center, and news subscription area.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The new domain, having an approved “.gov” site, confirms to users that it represents an official unit of government. By using internal staff to develop the website, county administration kept resource allocation in-house, as well as the ability to make ongoing improvements as needed.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Staff will no longer update the old website after today. The old website will direct the public to the new website. County email addresses are not affected by this transition. Please direct any questions to <a href="mailto:webmaster@bcgov.net">webmaster@bcgov.net</a>.<br></p>
