Reducing the font size may help a little, but I think it’s more that you really don’t need it in all caps, or need all of it. If it were me, I’d cut it into the two seperate blocks that it is:
Disclaimer: GastonCounty.info is not directly associated with, or makes claims to be associated with, any government office/ personnel in Gaston County nor the Gaston County’s official website.
And then have a mission statement or about page where you would put the following:
GastonCounty.info is a website that is independent of itself that is continuously striving to bring about community and information about Gaston County, NC.
The last portion of the legal notice thingy really makes very little sense to me and I would not use it at all.
Then again, if you want all of it, just put a simle statement like what I mentioned above for the disclaimer and then put something like “For our full legal disclaimer, click here.” and then have a link.
As the other poster mentioned, I’d try to find an image that you could use as a header background for your Title at the top of the page. This puts the info at the readers fingertips instead of forcing them to scroll. Just my opinion though.
Looks like a great resource and I wish you the best of luck!
