Government websites can often be a jumbled mess of information that seems to fight you for the information you want. The case could not be more different for alberta.ca/. This site, designed and operated by the Canadian Government, could serve as a template for other public entities to follow. The normal drab landing pages for government sites are long gone at alberta.ca/. Users are greeted by warm pastels and engaging photos.
Alberta has really broken the mold when it comes to navigability as well. Above the fold you will find a section dedicated to “what you would like to do”. This section has taken the common tasks past users have used and places them all in one easy to use menu. Such services as renewing your license or registering your vehicle are quick and easy thanks to this design. The site is by no means limited to these tasks however.
Alberta.ca/ has a wealth of information for residents and visitors alike. You can quickly discover places to visit, things to do, and services of interest. Perhaps the most beneficial area is the personal and family support section. This tab located on the top menu bar neatly organizes all information you could ever need in this regard. Ranging from senior care to child care it is all laid out for you.
While some governments have chosen to focus on other areas, Alberta has made an honest effort to provide a user friendly and visually appealing site. Whether you are seeking information and services this is a site you do not want to miss.
