Directgov
open-in-new
<p>Directgov was the <a href="/facts/Her_Majesty%27s_Government/3zLlUWbx">British government</a>'s digital service portal which from 2004 provided a single point of access to <a href="/facts/Public_sector/bV8gdzPu">public sector</a> information and services. The site's portal was replaced (along with the <a href="/facts/Business_Link/F8Yo153k">Business Link</a> portal) by the new <a href="/facts/GOV.UK/8M9zTqRD">GOV.UK</a> website on 17 October 2012, although migration of all services to GOV.UK branding took several years. </p><p>The content was developed by government departments, working with a central Directgov team. The main outlet was the website, though content and services were also delivered via mobile. </p><p>Directgov received more than fifteen million visits a month in 2008, from around eight million unique users. In September 2007, the site received its one hundred millionth visitor since its launch in April 2004. </p>
