New and improve village website live any day now

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, December 22, 2014

Everything you need to know about the Village of Ada is on the new and improved village website, which should be live by the end of this month – or any day now.

For a look at the site go to: wp.adaoh.org.

You’ll find everything from Boards, Departments, Documents, Pay Water Bill, Notices and a way to contact the village on the site.

The site is more robust, easier to manage and update and has a better layout than the site it replaces. Upcoming events are still on the upper left of the content area, and below that is a calendar that responds to hovering the cursor over bold dates.
