IMPORTANT: This version of the Web Guidelines has been superseded. The current version can be found at http://www.e-government.govt.nz/web-guidelines/.

This is a consultation draft document proposing guidelines for New Zealand government websites.

This document is for internal consultation and debate within the public sector. Both users and site providers may make comments and suggest proposals for additions and amendments to this draft to e-government@ssc.govt.nz

The guidelines are relevant to all public sector organisations that use the Internet to publish information and provide services to citizens and businesses. They provide guidance on standards that New Zealand public sector organisations should adhere to when designing new sites or upgrading existing ones.

Their purpose is to promote excellence in public sector sites, through good management and good design. Sites that comply with the guidelines will be rich in authoritative content, well designed, linked to other sites with relevant government information and accessible by a very wide audience.
