Boat.Oregon.gov is now better organized so the content boaters seek the most is on the homepage and additional sought-after content is within one or two clicks away.
Some of the website’s top navigation headers were updated based on customer feedback. The homepage has four additional “task boxes,” with tailored content specific to four different propulsion types: Yacht/Sail (big boats), Motorized, Drift/Raft, and Paddle/SUP. By clicking on the image or the “Equipment and Regulations” link, a new landing page opens with everything a boater needs to know for the propulsion type with optimized accordion drop-downs for each topic. Additional resource links are located on the right-hand side of the landing page on a desktop or scroll down on mobile devices.
The website still contains the original four task boxes with the most sought-after content linked: Boat Oregon Online Store, Access, Safety & Education, and Equipment & Regulations. The last item highlights the top content for the waterway access permit, rules for the Willamette River, and navigation rules of the road.
Check out the reorganized website. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Use the search feature! Content is tagged with terms people search for, and this helps us to keep improving the website.
