Three ways to ensure your website is on the right track.

1. Review your site statistics. This is a great way to find out what your visitors are interested in without asking them to complete a survey or opinion poll (both are also excellent ways to listen to your site users and find out what they want).

2. Enter your site for Web Awards. There are many options free and for fee. The best options are those that provide you with information on how your website compares with Industry Standards. WebAwards 2009 is currently taking nominations www.webaward.org. Don’t delay deadline is May 29th.

3. Engage in a free site review. Many companies offer FREE site reviews which can help you assess your site and plan for the future. I’d recommend looking for an Industry Expert. eGov Strategies would be a good fit for city, county, or government entities.

There you have it three easy ways to assess your website. Watch for easy to implement ideas to engage site visitors on your government website.
