Dumfries, Va. –– Dumfries’ website is getting a makeover, but it won’t immediately be known as Dumfries.com.
The town plans to have its newly redesigned website up and running by July.
The new site will allow residents to pay their taxes and to purchase special permits, offer more information about the town’s government, town ordinances and will offer a newly redesigned calendar of events that will list happenings inside the town and around the area.
But the Dumfries.com domain name belongs to Prince William County Supervisor Maureen Caddigan. She, prior to April, was the Dumfries Magisterial District Supervisor, an area separate from the actual Town of Dumfries.
The Dumfries District was changed to the Potomac District as part of Prince William County’s decennial redistricting process.
“We have already spoken with Supervisor Caddigan’s office about having the dumfries.com domain. They have graciously agreed to allow the town to have the domain after there has been enough time for the residents that have been using this domain for so many years the time to adjust to the new domain being, www.potomacdistrict.com,” said Dumfries Director of Economic Development and Marketing Debi Sandlin.
Dumfries’ website will also have a new domain, changing from dumfriesvirginia.org to dumfriesva.gov.
Visitors that still type in dumfriesvirginia.org will be redirected to the new site for at least 12 months after the new site is launched.
