Dorset County Council is getting the most out its resources by moving its ‘customers’ to the web. Therefore it is viewed as essential to make sure that its website not only performs well, in terms of speed and the provision of relevant content, but that it is also is fully website accessibility compliant.

Martin Bottomley, the council’s e-communications manager, feels that this includes meeting eGMS standards. What are the benefits for council websites? Being eGMS compliant improves the “sharing of information between government websites. This makes it easier for users to find the content that is most relevant to them.”

Meanwhile, Ian Dunmore of Public Sector Forums feels that the public sector is at last showing its private counterpart a thing or two about good website accessibility and performance practice, and SiteMorse’s league tables – welcomed by some but not by all, are seen as a means of demonstrating both accessibility and, to a degree, website performance.
