As a Canadian - our government makes uniquely shitty websites. We can't even successfully pay a private company to build tech for us - we end up with billion dollar abominations like the PRESTO card.
I don't know what the solution is - but if the government makes a emergency alert site, it will be awful and no one will use it.
- amatecha 3y agoMayyybe.. "Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada" (formerly Industry Canada) has a pretty decent website[0]. Their information architecture (site structure) isn't so great IMO, but the actual functionality is quite solid. Interestingly it appears to be using Drupal. I wonder if it was put together by a government web dev team or an outside contractor? Whoa, actually I just found they have an entire design system[1] to refer to for any official digital services. Cool!
