What is Better Connected?
The purpose of the 'Better Connected' report is to identify good practice in the development of local authority websites based on extensive evidence-based research.
A team of reviewers carry out a structured survey with specific questions for local authority websites.
Better Connected is an annual report and focusses on a number of critical aspects of customer experience and the critical role the web plays in this.
“ This is the first site I have come across which uses top tasks consistently throughout the site. It makes a strong customer focus. The links are short and clear. This is a very good site.

“ The site excels at promoting top tasks and enables them to be found easily across all entry points. The landing pages are beautifully presented and so easy to scan.
Oldham Council Reviewer - Better Connected 2013
“ Oldham focused on content, from our customers’ perspective as well as the top tasks that our customers need and want. We also deployed the Weejot.com mobile service providing quick and easy access to those top tasks.
