Czech Statistical Office has a new website and domain
Product Code: 990289-24
After ten years of operation, the CZSO’s website has undergone a significant change of its appearance. Now it includes control elements that are in compliance with the new design of the gov.cz system. Information is consistently structured there so that the user finds basic information as soon as possible and gradually gets from the simpler to the more complex. “It is our goal to have the most important and latest data on the website first. For better understanding, they are thus often accompanied by a simple chart showing development over the past few periods. Articles related to a given topic are also available to users on the website,” Jaroslav Sixta, Vice President of the Czech Statistical Office, says.
“The focal point of the new website is the tab called Statistics, under which data are provided in a new intuitive breakdown and with a richer internal structure. In total, 7 main topics are broken down there to 42 groups and 133 sub-groups,” Petra Kuncová, Director of the Information Services Department of the CZSO, explains. For example, in a topic called Society, a user thus can choose e.g. a group called Social security and can continue then to the sub-group called Pensions.
“To improve the system of searching, a technology of specific predictions (suggestions) was used. For the most frequently searched expressions, it will offer to users the most suitable pages of the website, products, and databases,” Helena Koláčková, Head of the Internet Unit of the CZSO, points out. There is a novelty, a section called Calendar of events available from the homepage. In the form of a calendar, important dates are announced there, such as press conferences, publishing of regular news releases or key publications.
An updated appearance on the web was also given to the magazine of the Czech Statistical Office called in Czech Statistika & My (which means Statistics & Us). Mainly search functions and order of articles have been enhanced and the page structure is linked to the new website of the CZSO.
With the launch of the new website, the Czech Statistical Office started to use a unique state domain gov.cz and its web presentation is now available at the following address: www.csu.gov.cz. Along with that, e-mail addresses of employees of the CZSO and its individual organisational units also changed. In order to maintain continuity, the original e-mail addresses will remain functional and ensure delivery of e-mails to new mail boxes ending with @csu.gov.cz up until the year 2030.
