NHDES New Website to be Launched on December 8

Concord, NH – The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) is pleased to announce the launch of a completely redesigned and reimagined website on December 8. The new site provides users with information organized by environmental topic, with the goal of creating multiple pathways to find the right content. Some of the exciting new features include:

• Looking for certain documents? The site includes a searchable document library for all NHDES publications, filterable by document type, category and keyword.
• Looking for someone to contact? There will be a searchable employee directory, filtered by topic or keyword.
• Looking for funding opportunities? A full list of loan and grant opportunities through NHDES programs in one place.
• One-click action: A selection of popular user requests a click away in our “How Can We Help You Today?” section on the homepage.

The new structure of the website was the culmination of an analysis of website traffic, input from a staff survey on the needs of stakeholders and residents, and consultation with Manchester-based website design company Silvertech. Contracted through the New Hampshire Department of Information Technology, Silvertech helped NHDES design and develop a visual and dynamic website that furthers the Governor’s new statewide branding initiative, combining NHDES’ unique needs with the visual template that will help to identify all State of New Hampshire department websites.

Please note that the OneStop datatbase website is separate from www.des.nh.gov and was not included in this redesign.

Follow along on social media as we count down to the launch on December 8. For more information about the new NHDES website, please contact Kathryn Michener, Assistant Public Information Officer, at Kathryn.P.Michener@des.nh.gov.
