Creating an excellent government website user experience is not unattainable, but it requires consistency and organizational commitment.

While methodologies and techniques for improving User Experience are not some mysterious well-kept set of practices, where organizations fail to meet user needs is in not committing to perpetual improvements, optimizations, and course correction over time.
