Los Alamos County redesigns website to improve public access
Residents should find meeting notices, service updates and recreation details faster as Los Alamos County groups its website into five main topics.
Los Alamos County has started reshaping its website so residents, businesses and visitors can get to county information without wading through as many layers of menus.
As of May 21, the homepage had been reorganized around five main topics: Community, Business, Visit, Government and Services. County officials said the pages under those headings will continue to be sorted over the next couple of months, with the goal of making county news, events and time-sensitive updates easier to find.
That matters in a place where the website often serves as the first stop for practical information. The county says the new homepage is meant to surface items tied to Economic Vitality, Quality of Life and Environmental Stewardship more prominently, while also pointing people toward local business and event information. For residents, that could mean quicker access to meeting notices, service updates, recreation details and other day-to-day county functions.
The redesign is also part of a broader shift in how Los Alamos County presents itself online. In April 2026, the county moved its public site from the .us domain to losalamosnm.gov, saying the change was meant to strengthen cybersecurity and reinforce public confidence in county communications. The new homepage builds on that move by treating the site less like a static bulletin board and more like a working portal for county services and public information.
The county’s website work also fits within its 2025 Strategic Leadership Plan, which lays out five goals and 22 objectives. Those goals are Quality Governance, Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Quality of Life and Environmental Stewardship. County materials say the website includes an electronic performance dashboard, giving the public a place to track progress tied to those priorities.
Los Alamos County has been down this road before. In 2023, it sought user feedback on website navigation as part of a redesign effort. In 2016, it launched a major overhaul after officials said the old site was eight years old and no longer supported by Microsoft.
The latest changes do not amount to a flashy public-facing reveal so much as a service update with real consequence. In a county where clear communication affects everything from public notices to business access, the website’s usefulness can shape how easily people deal with local government day to day.
