Two cities in the region have launched new Web sites.
Warwick recently debuted a redesigned version of its municipal Web site, WarwickRI.gov. The most notable change is a new feature that allows residents to pay their property tax bills online with a credit card. They will have to pay an additional fee equal to 2.5 percent of their property tax bill to use the service.

The upgraded site also has added direct links to meeting agendas and minutes, online job applications. The site was developed by Robert Martin, the city’s webmaster.
“I think that visitors to WarwickRI.gov will be pleased with these improvements and the additional information that’s provided, all of which are meant to make government more accessible and transparent,” Mayor Scott Avedisian said in a statement. The city will save money due to efficiencies the site creates, Avedisian said.
Across the state border, the Downtown-Waterfront Revitalization Committee in Fall River created a new Web site, FallRiverNow.com, to promote the city’s economic development efforts in that district.
“This is a significant step in Fall River’s forward progress in bringing new life to the downtown and the waterfront, as well as heralding the many resources the city has to offer,” Alan A. Amaral, committee chairman and president of the Fall River Office of Economic Development, said in a statement quoted by The Herald News.
The Web site was designed by George Delaney, a local marketing and media consultant and a member of the revitalization committee.
