Best Feds on the Web Award
We at GovExec.com
have spent countless hours scientifically scouring the Web to find a handful of
elite federal Websites worthy of the honorable title "Best Feds on the Web."
OK, that's a slight
exaggeration, but we certainly did give it our best shot. The process we used to
make our choices for the top federal sites was somewhat less than fully
scientific, and since there are literally thousands of feds on the Web we were
destined to miss a few good ones. What follows, however, is a listing of the
sites we thought went above and beyond the typical "home page."
Some of the better
known and flashier federal sites didn't make the list because we felt they
didn't go the extra mile to serve their customers. On the other hand, you may be
surprised at some of the niche sites that did make the list because of their
innovative online efforts. Following are the review criteria we used. Best Feds
on the Web must:
- Provide excellent customer service to the public by having a well-designed site
that includes a large amount of useful information;
- Use the Web to improve business practices in their agencies or across government;
and
- Make use of new technologies that other federal sites should consider emulating.
And now, this
year's winners, in no particular order:
Medicare.gov
What we really
liked about this site was its Medicare Compare feature, an interactive database
for Medicare beneficiaries and people involved in their care. The database
provides easy access to information about Medicare managed care plans, including
premiums and types of services provided. Users can select two plans to view a
side-by-side comparison of services, copayments and benefits.
