Is the fact that over half of government websites got better actually “good” news?

If you read the article at the link below, you can come away with a few different perspectives. One is that there was improvement that hopefully results in a better experience for citizens and the other would be a big question – why are we not doing better overall and why are there so many websites in government?

Some nuggets that stand out for me:

  • Does the government really need 7,000 websites?
  • Why only limited improvement after several years of guidance being released?
  • Implementation of a public feedback mechanism is lowest on priority list?
  • Why would the need to focus on CX be a bipartisan issue?
  • Should websites that are not used much be consolidated in some way – or just go away?
