Abstract

The challenge of greater users’ participation with e-government remains a significant issue. E-government website usability has been found to be one of the major reasons influencing users’ interaction, which needs to be addressed when developing e-government. This empirical study evaluates a current e-government website, to identify specific usability problems. Based on the identified problems, the design solutions are proposed, redesigned and evaluated in order to develop a more usable e-government website. The results indicate that with the proposed design solutions provision, the identified usability problems have been addressed. Such improvements may promote overall usability of e-government and make better users’ task performance. These are beneficial for designers to further develop their e-government usability.
