California DFW Launches Updated Website Design

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has launched a new website at www.wildlife.ca.gov. The site features an updated design and is now optimized for mobile devices, making it easier to use and more accessible to the public.

“Our Data and Technology Division (DTD) has worked very hard using customer feedback and the latest web development technology to produce a site that will bring ease of use to the public,” said CDFW Webmaster Angela Barlow. “We want to make the website navigation more intuitive and offer easier ways for people to get the online services they want.”

The new site’s modern editing system will allow CDFW staff to efficiently update their pages with information of interest to the public and stakeholders.

The CDFW website currently has more than 3,000 individual pages. The migration of this content to the new site is expected to be completed by 2015. The former website address, www.dfg.ca.gov, will redirect to the new site indefinitely.
