I like the "It may contain inaccuracies or be misleading." gives one a lot of confidence in the Government and politics . grin

I like the design and print styles.

I suspect ventads answer might have more than a smidge of truth in it!

I might add that I don't have a great deal of confidence in HMG's track record when it comes to IT projects.

It looks pretty good to me. It's a beta version, so of course it's likely to contain inaccuracies - all beta versions do.

It certainly looks easy to navigate, so for the time being I'm giving it the thumbs up.

As to why?

The government site is complex, and full of information. Lots of people complained that they found it difficult to drill down to what they wanted. This is an attempt to simply the process, and based on what I can see, it does. The true test is always when a site goes live, and bears the full brunt of a heavy traffic load. That's when things can go wrong, and omissions and shortcomings come to light. All the beta testing in the world can't simulate that.

In fairness ventad, you aren't saying how long its been in beta, merely its got 3 days to go before it becomes live.

However, I have to add in all honesty that I havent been slapped in the face with any government adverts informing me of the change, and the last time I went knowingly near what might have been a government website was about 3 monts ago when I checked the status of my latest bout of mandatory training for the driverCPC.

I'm due to re-tax the car, so I might wait a day or so and give the live site a whirl.

That's about the only time I use the UK Government website, though I do use the Scottish one a lot.
