Website with ‘wow’ factor – do you agree?
Each year all local government sites are
reviewed by Socitm (Society of Information Technology Management)
for the national Better Connected survey.
We’ve been consistently rated amongst the
best council websites in the country and this year we were
delighted to be officially ranked as one of the
top ten district council website in the country.
What the Socitm review said about us
in 2010…
“Wow! This is different. Jolly
interactive in tone and feel...I am impressed.”
“I love this website…it’s so refreshing to
review a site that has good quality content pretty much across the
board. The design is quite unusual and strikes a good balance
between getting across a message about how the Council wants to
interact with citizens and promoting interactive services and
useful information. Well done!”
“You get the impression the Council is
committed to seeking feedback and listening.”
What you’ve been saying about
us…
"Website is very accessible and easy to use, i
reported an issue recently and got a quick response and the
situation was dealt with. Very pleased and find it quite helpful,
very informative."
"Really like the 'Your West Lancs' section of
the website with the postcode search facility, it looks great. I've
already used it to check when my recycling is being collected
next!"
“The website is excellent and answers all my
queries.”
“How refreshing a Local Government website
that feels like the 21st century and also works”.
“Put more stuff that kids want!!!”
Web team: We hope to build a youth area
on the site in the future that will be built with the ideas
and influence of young people and that will bring together a range
of youth services, information and links. Watch this space!
Even English Heritage have had something to say about
our site...“West Lancashire’s website is well laid out, easy
to use and provides the sort of information that users want to
find. The information is up-to-date and helpful.”
We want to know if you think we’ve got it
