The popularity of global information networks used, as an information resource in all areas is that business, industrial, educational and leisure, has grown. We are now aiming at being a society that runs on information. Many changes are occurring and perhaps the most important one of all is the turn of the century.

Information is the most sought after resource. The craze for information is just beginning and will grow in the future. People want to know things i.e., what is happening? Why it is happening? We are now moving fully in to the information era, and must recognise that changes are required, and information must be marketed so that it reaches it's full potential.

The Global Information Network is one of the most recognised sources of information that is not only growing in popularity but also recognition. Global information networks also know as the World Wide Web (WWW) has the reputation of an up-todate, easy to use and accessible information resource. The attraction to the WWW is that it is viewed as the future library, but unlike an average library there are more facilities available through the WWW.

The have used colour very well, icons and a few pictures but the overall effect is very good. What makes the site well presented is the initial homepage that does not have the standard format of other sites. The choices are provided by icons, which are in a circle. There are no other menus available and below the circle is their contact address. Like I said earlier the site is basic but well presented. Links off the home page are a lot more basic, they just provide a title of information available. This area could do with some more work. The information just leads off from each other, for example anything that refers to taxis is thrown under that section.

The Required System

What they would like is break down the Transport section first. All the Highlighted titles above will be moved under this heading and broken down correctly. What they would then like to do is separate the information and filter it so that they relevant information is displayed in the right area.

They would like to expand each topic of transport, provide clear and relevant information about each and then link it to other topic that may have reference to it. For example it we take Taxi's. What the client requires is information about Taxis, their current and future status. Project and policies that concerns them. They would then like integrated transport discussed and how it will effect taxis, further links will be made to the environment, fuel and safety which are all separate issues that effect taxis. This example is given to show how the client wants to break up the system and so that the information can be in detail without being to cluttered to understand. They would also like to divide the information in to various sections so that they have the same format for each subject.

The client would also like the presentation of the home page and the links off the home page changed and improved with the use of multimedia tools. The whole idea is to have a new look for millenium, but with consideration that it is still representing a government information page.
