Councils fail to improve their websites
14th July 2010
Cuts to budgets could have a negative effect on website usability, resulting in increased costs elsewhere, according to the '2010 Local Council Website Usability' report. The study also found that councils across the country had experienced a downturn in website usability over the past year.
The report said the average usability score achieved overall was 58.7 per cent, down from last year's average score of 59.9 per cent.
The survey found that despite improvement in some areas, many local council websites were "well below par when it comes to the usability of key transactional aspects". This is an area that needs immediate attention, the report said, because "managing users' expectations is essential in engendering a sense of trust with visitors".
Blueline offer full website development and hosting solutions to the public sector.
