The new single government domain will eventually replace Directgov, the UK government portal which launched back in 2004. GOV.UK is aimed squarely as delivering faster digital services to citizens through a much improved user interface at decreased cost. Unfortunately, far too often .gov websites cost millions and don't deliver as needed. GOV.UK is open source,  show all text
