Local Directgov Widget
The Local Directgov team has a widget in development. When completed it will be made available as a package to give out for use on other websites.
There are three ways the widget could be used:
- A search box for entry of location details for a single service that has been pre-selected, such as 'Find out about building regulations'
- A search box for entry of location details plus a drop down box of six pre-determined services.
- A search box for entry of location details to find home page/contact page details
The Local Directgov team is also looking at providing this widget to a number of other sites, outside of Directgov, which link to local services.
If you know of any community websites in your area that link to services provided by your council you could pre-load this widget with relevant services and give it out to these sites to use. This would make it easier for these websites to maintain their links to your site.
If you would like more information about this widget, or have a suggestion of where it could be used, please email us at localdirectgov@communities.gsi.gov.uk.
