next generation state web sites

The Stamford Advocate is reporting that Connecticut has relaunched its web site at a new location, and with a new focus. The new address is CT.gov, and the shift has been from providing information to supplying services.

"This next-generation state Web site is moving from an information-based site to a more service-based portal," she said. "It's organized around the user rather than the state bureaucracy."

The launch of the new portal coincides with the redesign of a handful of individual state agency Web sites, including the Department of Motor Vehicles, that allow residents to do more on the Internet.

I like the Connecticut redesign, and reorganization a lot, and I'm hoping that just maybe the folks running Delaware's pages will take a peek and gather some ideas.
