Local Authority Sites Don’t Need to be ugly

I just visited the Carlow website. It’s horrific. It’s embarassingly bad.

Why can’t they do something like Clare or Donegal?

Does a county have to rely heavily on tourism to have a decent looking website?

I’d have thought not.

Earlier this week Carlow decided to have a carfree day before the rest of Europe.

Whether this was a good idea or not isn’t important, but if you were a resident it would have been nice to actually have access to some information on it.
I’d have thought the local authority site would have been the place to find the information. Of course there was absolutely no mention of it at all!

Anyone who tells me that egovernment is improving obviously hasn’t tried to actually use the local authority sites for Carlow!
