The story of two Government Agency websites

Which state would you rather live in if you need vocational rehabilitation?


California or North Carolina?

California










How's the content? Irrelevant news, a discouraging application preamble, and no description of what the site is about.


Telling quote:
"DOR's vocational rehabilitation services program assists Californians with disabilities obtain and retain employment and maximize their ability to live independently in their communities."
North Carolina










How's the content? An encouraging mission & vision statement, help applying, a phone number(!) and address.

Telling quote:
"When you become a VR consumer, your rehabilitation plan will focus on your abilities and new possibilities. The goal is gainful employment!"
Thanks to Anastasia for this blog post idea :)
