Missouri National Guard introduces new features on its website

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Those checking out the Missouri National Guard website will find they have more online options as the organization brings new features to moguard.com when it goes live this week.

The Missouri National Guard, home to a diverse mixture of employees - federal, state, military and civilian, as well as a vast constituent base and the general public - has introduced new options to the website that will increase convenience while creating a more interactive experience.

"We're really excited about what the site now offers everyone who stops by," said Staff Sergeant Christopher Robertson, the Missouri National Guard webmaster. "A number of new items have been introduced to the website that our consumers will find very useful."

From the general public, employment seekers, to current and retired Service members, the website has something for everyone.

"The Missouri National Guard is a community-based organization and our activities are of interest to an immense number of stakeholders," added Robertson. "The new integrated website is a platform where we want our constituents to be able to browse and navigate with ease."

The launch page has more user friendly features and is set up to cater to the user's specific need.

"Now someone going to our website has the ease of new interactive buttons and navigation tools and our site is also tailored demographically," said Robertson. "For instance, a retiree can easily connect within our website in a whole new way to areas of the site specifically designed and tailored to keep that retiree actively engaged in things of interest to them."
Connecting to the site is still the best way to keep up with the latest news and Missouri Guard happenings. The highlights also make it easier for users to share information on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

The new features include a news carousel on several pages, an armory locator map, and the site is now optimized for cell phones and portable devices.

Among those new technologies are:
