  13. eGovernment Report • Policy Recommendations Section “The most striking discovery while researching state and federal websites was the importance of consistency. States that had websites that were completely inconsistent from one agency to the next were harder to navigate, because each site seemed like an independent entity. Sites that were consistently formatted, however, were much easier to use because one knew where to find certain links with the prior knowledge of their relative locations on other state sites.”

  14. eGovernment Report Specific actions for government websites • Recommendations we are looking into • Security Policy • Standard for notifying users that they are being redirected to another address outside of government • Providing foreign language accessibility
