Little Green Brook shows big sister Plainfield how to do it




Plainfield could learn a thing or two from its little sibling Green Brook.

Like how to have a usable, effective and inexpensive website.

Evidently believing steak is more important than sizzle, the little township (pop. 5,654) has mounted a no-frills website that is thoughtfully organized, easy to navigate and includes a handy site map (see here).

Contrast this straightforward, information-filled site with Plainfield's expensive, chaotically designed, Flash-freighted and confusing website (see here).

Sometimes, as they say, less is more.

Unfortunately the links to forms on their site don't work. I guess work in progress or they hired someone from the Plainfield administration.

Yeah - but Green Brook doesn't have a "Coming Soon = "Our Online Community Videos" on their website or a picture of their Mayor on the main page.

Coming Soon??? My guess is that it's like one of those "Going Out of Business Sa;e" signes that you will see for a lont time to come.
