Government websites are the least websites we’d want to go. We visit government websites only if we need to, why? There could be few deep-rooted reasons we want to do as little as possible with the government and we can’t really resolve it all here. One reason why most us would just bother to go to physical offices, fall in line for hours and just take our business there, we don’t trust the online system of our government services. It could either be poorly designed, unresponsive or just not made comprehensively.

Pixel8 Web Solutions and Consultancy is revolutionizing the government website game by carefully planning the outcome. We’ve worked with a few challenging projects from the government and it’s never easy. But that’s our job - make difficult things easy for the user.

Did you know that there are very specific rules in creating a website for a government-funded institutions? Yes, and there’s a 16 page PDF file of it.

Description and Interface Requirements

1. Vertical Measurements
Government websites should be designed using a responsive framework with a standard width of 1190px on regular screens that scales down gracefully on smaller devices of 320px in width. This would allow the website visitor to access the website content on multiple types of devices. Website layout should be based on a twelve column grid layout that scales down to a one layout on the smallest of

mobile devices.

We have completed a project to develop Pilar Sorsogon Local Government website and it’s one of the projects we could easily be proud of. We get the pleasure of completing a website that could help deliver better service to public, make information sharing easier, and migrating transactions online, cutting off unnecessary trips to physical offices.

How many among us wished we had a better school website? I have! Schools and school organizations disseminate information to thousands of students every now and then and the task can be quite overwhelming if not chaotic. This challenges the traditional way we do things. Most school administrator and/or school organization leaders stick with what has always been done, not necessarily effective.

Imagine inviting a group people to attend to a meeting, getting everyone’s response, tracking and updating for any adjustments. Or during enrollment, students signing up for different subjects and finding the best schedules for their back subjects. What if there’s a system that could handle all these tasks. Now you don’t have to imagine because there’s certainly web service fix for that - an efficiently done school website.

Layout - grid layout is in
Modern layout does half the job of website design nowadays. One look to landing page and you know if you want to use it or just forget about it. The layout and overall appearance of a website is your first impression to visitors, so make one that lasts, one that’s good.

Graphic design, fonts, accent, header
Invest on themed and coordinated design. This will help establish your brand and add credibility to your website as well as all the information you post on it.

Use of images - actual and cinematic images of your school or organization
Find the right image, on the right size and put it in the right place on your website. High definition images may be a little heavy on the upload but it sh

Content
You may think that text contents are boring and outdated but that is only if your text content is boring and outdated. With the right length and angle, you can use content management on your advantage. At the moment, new websites invest on good editorial-style content, front page. Editorial style restructures the technicality and agenda to a level that is relatable to almost anyone.
