New
Government of Anguilla Website |
Press release by
Larry Franklin, Permanent Secretary.
The Department of Information Technology and e-Government
Services in conjunction with various Government departments
and ministries has completed the initial development and
posting of the new Government of Anguilla website. The new
website will enhance the presence and image of the
Government of Anguilla in cyberspace and will provide the
general public, residents, visitors, prospective investors,
Anguillians overseas and the global village with far more
information and resources than what was previously
available. From a technical point of view, the dynamic
structure of the new website will make it easier to manage,
maintain and update. |

The website now
consists of approximately 80 static pages along with 15
dynamic pages but it is flexible enough to accommodate much
more information. The Government of Anguilla recognizes that
content is the most important aspect of any website and as a
result the Department of information Technology will be
committing full time resources to the maintenance and upkeep
of the website and will be upgrading the web pages for the
Department of Statistics, Post Office and the Royal Anguilla
Police Force in the near future. In addition the Department
of IT is inviting persons to peruse the site and submit
constructive recommendations as to how the website can be
further improved and what information and resources citizens
and residents would like the Government of Anguilla to put
on its website.
The Department of IT worked closely with Acromedia, a US
based website development company, to do the initial design
and development of the website. The next step for the
Department of Information Technology is to create a secure,
dynamic, online presence for some of its revenue collection
and payment systems like SIGTAS, SmartStream and ASYCUDA.
The Ministry with responsibility for information and
communication technologies would like to thank the entire
staff of the Department of Information Technology and other
individuals who made valuable contributions for their hard
work and dedication during the building stages of the
project. In particular the Ministry would like to thank the
Director of Information Technology, Mr. Vaughn Hazell and
the project leader Mr. Rudy Webster for the successful
implementation of this project.
The new website is now on par with other regional Government
websites such as the Government of Cayman Islands and the
Government of the British Virgin Islands Websites
The Department of Information Technology and e-Government
Services was created in 2000 to lead the computerization of
Government of Anguilla. It is widely recognized in the
Caribbean as one of the better public sector information
technology departments. The staff of the department
comprises of about 20 hard working and dedicated Anguillians
and is expected to grow rapidly as more government services
are brought online. |
