Westland, MI - The City of Westland announced that it will launch its new and improved website on Monday, April 7. The current www.CityofWestland.com has a countdown to the highly anticipated launch-date.

Visitors will experience dramatically increased usability and ease of navigation with the new site, which is a complete makeover of the previous version. The website upgrade will be compatible with mobile devices without requiring users to download a mobile-app. 

The new website comes with a plethora of benefits and enhanced services for Westland residents. For public safety, a brand new, interactive and near-real time crime map has been developed, which will keep residents updated on incidents and allow police to collect tips and analyze crime trends faster.

Another new feature will be the ability for residents to make online service requests, and the ability to track the status of their questions and requests for service. The new website also offers streamlined payments for residents' water and tax bills, which will make the process easier for those looking to pay their bills online.

"The most important part of the new and improved website is that residents will experience better customer service and user-friendliness and be able to conduct city business 24 hours a day from their home or mobile devices" said Mayor William R. Wild, "We are very excited for the website to launch and for residents to start taking advantage of its upgrades."

Visitors will also enjoy a more user-friendly community calendar, an interactive park map with amenities search function, and the ability to schedule building inspections online.

The web-address for the new site will remain the same as the previous site, www.CityofWestland.com.
