In the modern era, a government website is effectively the organization’s front door: It’s where citizens likely have their first interaction with the agency—and where they form their first impressions.
That’s why every government website should strive to be a citizen-centric hub of information. But what are best practices, and which metrics should have an eye kept on them?
