House staff got a peek Thursday afternoon at the chamber’s redesigned website, which will roll out in mid-April.

John Clocker, the director of Web systems for the Chief Administrative Officer, previewed the sleek blue-on-white design, which aims to make house.gov more user-friendly.

Among the new features will be up-to-date information on the home page about committee schedules, the latest votes and information from the Clerk of the House. The home page currently contains links that redirect Web users to other pages with that information.

Clocker noted that he will need committee assistance to keep the information on hearings updated.

“We’re going to have to reach out to you guys to make this work,” he said at the preview briefing, which about 30 staffers attended. Most were from the Clerk’s office, but a few were from Member and committee staffs.
