This is... fairly random, but because I was looking for something I went to the (South) Korean government website. My first reaction was, "This is pretty nice looking!" and I wondered how the US website looks. In my personal opinion... it's pretty ugly. So after this I checked out a bunch of other government websites.


Discuss:
-government websites (dur)
-which ones you think look the best
-philosophy of that country shown in the site? (for example, "keep things simple")
-related things

And while I guess this could end up offending people, as long as you are just criticizing the website and not races/countries/nationalities in general, it'll be all good. :]

I'll start off by saying my least favorite so far is India, and Egypt's is under construction (with a really bad page showing you that too) which I find a little odd.


http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/official.htm has a list of these sites.

I hate to say it, all the other countries websites, etc., are going to look better than that of America's. Period.

Why do you say that?

Hmm I'm not sure I agree Malice, I think the US website could use a little more color and images and flash stuff, it does seem a little plain but I bet you anything we can find one that's even plainer

Ours looks alright. Not too flashy. Lots of information. It has the obligatory red and white theme, of course. x3

Well, yeah. Now that I look at it a little more clearly, you guys are right. It's just half the time, America doesn't really have all that great creativity as other countries may have. Other countries make better stuff than we do, but that's beside the point.
Every country has their own uniqueness, like a human being.

Thanks you guys for letting me see the wrongs of my previous statement. Hugs? neutral

Aside from the America Hating bullshit Malic said. USA.gov isn't the best looking site in the world, but The White House Website is much better, and the Congress website is another good example that is easy on the eyes and useful if you know what you are looking for.

Ooh you're right the White House website is set up very nicely, I highly approve. That being said every time I hear "White House website" I think of the porn site.... I'M SORRY gonk

I don't hate America. You misunderstood me. sad
I am an American and just because I live here in the U.S., it doesn't mean I have to like it. Big meanie. . . just kidding, Sav.

I don't think America does this for english, but the (South) Korean government website has a section to teach Korean!

(I found it pretty funny razz not in a bad way )

Can anyone find other countries that do this? I'm sure many do...
