Does your council appear on this year’s list of top performing council websites produced by Socitm?
The professional body for public sector ICT professionals produces the list from ratings given by a panel of reviewers.
Four factors contribute to the Better Connected star ranking of a council website:
- The number of customer journeys for top tasks that meet the Better connected standard according to type of council);
- The number of usability criteria that meet the Better connected standard (navigation of top tasks, use of search engine, use of A to Z index, accessibility) – maximum of four;
- The overall reviewer rating – from 1 (poor) to 3 (very good)
- The mobile assessment: four star sites only must achieve the mobile standard
