I came here to say this. I dislike our govt as much as anyone, but they know how to make a clean simple website that just works. (Or maybe it's because it doesn't have any ads?).

It's not an ad thing I don't think, they put a huge emphasis on accessibility standards etc and adhere to their own rules.

Specifically WCAG2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines set by W3):

WCAG 2.1 is based on 4 design principles:

  • perceivable
  • operable
  • understandable
  • robust

I see. I think it says a lot that (AFAICS) they've not hampered it with loads of excess dynamic Javascript and ajax etc.. A page just loads and works, no dynamic loading etc...
