There are 418 central government open websites as at 30 June 2014.
The Cabinet Office committed to begin quarterly publication of the number of open websites starting in the financial year 2011.
The definition used is a user-centric one. Something is counted as a separate website if it is active and either has a separate domain name or, when as a subdomain, the user cannot move freely between the subsite and parent site and there is no family likeness in the design. In other words, if the user experiences it as a separate site in their normal uses of browsing, search and interaction, it is counted as one.
A website is considered closed when it ceases to be actively funded, run and managed by central government, either by packaging information and putting it in the right place for the intended audience on another website or digital channel, or by a third party taking and managing it and bearing the cost. Where appropriate, domains stay operational in order to redirect users to the http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/webarchive/" class="govuk-link">UK Government Website Archive.
The GOV.UK exemption process began with a web rationalisation of the government’s internet estate to reduce the number of obsolete websites and to establish the scale of the websites that the government owns.
Not included in the number or list are:
Finally, those public bodies set up by Parliament and reporting directly to the Speaker’s Committee and only reporting through a ministerial government department for the purposes of enaction of legislation are also excluded (for example, the Electoral Commission and IPSA).
As agreed in the quarterly report of February 2013, the following sites have been included in the list:
Websites are listed under the department name for which the government minister has responsibility, either directly through their departmental activities, or indirectly through being the minister reporting to Parliament for independent bodies set up by statute.
Government website domains have been procured from as early as the 1990’s and at this time, there was no requirement upon government departments to retain a formal record of ownership. With staff changes and new departments formed, it became apparent that departments did not have a complete view of all sites in their estate.
Government Digital Service (GDS) has worked closely with these departments to identify legacy websites which we were not originally aware of, by going through the complete list of gov.uk domains managed by Cabinet Office, under the second level domain (SLD), gov.uk. A full list of gov.uk domains can be viewed here. As well as websites on the gov.uk SLD, we had found that there are a number of legacy websites owned by departments under a .org.uk or co.uk SLD. Because we do not own these SLD’s, information on whether a department has ownership was not so easily accessible, but a strong working relationship with department leads has since helped to identify the majority of these sites.
Previously, the Ministry of Defence conducted their own rationalisation of MOD and the armed forces sites. At the beginning of this report, we agreed to include these sites to ensure a consistent approach.
Since the last report of January 2014, 12 websites have closed and 20 websites (including organisation pages held

Oracle index to records of some 3500 waste sites in England and Wales identified by BGS as part of a survey carried out on behalf of the Departement of the Environment in 1973. The index has been corrected and updated to a limited extent, but the data itself has not been changed. The data was collected in 1972 and the information reflects the knowledge at that time. It does not reflect current interpretation. Not all authorities made returns and there are not records for all of the sites listed. However, the data is an invaluable source of information about pre-1974 sites. Information includes site name, location and risks to aquifers. It should be noted that the assessments were carried out when the data was collected and may not reflect current interpretation.
This database, and the accompanying website called ‘SurgeWatch’ (http://surgewatch.stg.rlp.io), provides a systematic UK-wide record of high sea level and coastal flood events over the last 100 years (1915-2014). Derived using records from the National Tide Gauge Network, a dataset of exceedence probabilities from the Environment Agency and meteorological fields from the 20th Century Reanalysis, the database captures information of 96 storm events that generated the highest sea levels around the UK since 1915. For each event, the database contains information about: (1) the storm that generated that event; (2) the sea levels recorded around the UK during the event; and (3) the occurrence and severity of coastal flooding as consequence of the event. The data are presented to be easily assessable and understandable to a wide range of interested parties. The database contains 100 files; four CSV files and 96 PDF files. Two CSV files contain the meteorological and sea level data for each of the 96 events. A third file contains the list of the top 20 largest skew surges at each of the 40 study tide gauge site. In the file containing the sea level and skew surge data, the tide gauge sites are numbered 1 to 40. A fourth accompanying CSV file lists, for reference, the site name and location (longitude and latitude). A description of the parameters in each of the four CSV files is given in the table below. There are also 96 separate PDF files containing the event commentaries. For each event these contain a concise narrative of the meteorological and sea level conditions experienced during the event, and a succinct description of the evidence available in support of coastal flooding, with a brief account of the recorded consequences to people and property. In addition, these contain graphical representation of the storm track and mean sea level pressure and wind fields at the time of maximum high water, the return period and skew surge magnitudes at sites around the UK, and a table of the date and time, offset return period, water level, predicted tide and skew surge for each site where the 1 in 5 year threshold was reached or exceeded for each event. A detailed description of how the database was created is given in Haigh et al. (2015). Coastal flooding caused by extreme sea levels can be devastating, with long-lasting and diverse consequences. The UK has a long history of severe coastal flooding. The recent 2013-14 winter in particular, produced a sequence of some of the worst coastal flooding the UK has experienced in the last 100 years. At present 2.5 million properties and £150 billion of assets are potentially exposed to coastal flooding. Yet despite these concerns, there is no formal, national framework in the UK to record flood severity and consequences and thus benefit an understanding of coastal flooding mechanisms and consequences. Without a systematic record of flood events, assessment of coastal flooding around the UK coast is limited. The database was created at the School of Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton with help from the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, the National Oceanography Centre and the British Oceanographic Data Centre. Collation of the database and the development of the website was funded through a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) impact acceleration grant. The database contributes to the objectives of UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) consortium project FLOOD Memory (EP/K013513/1).

Web Design Services revenue is expected to contract at a compound annual rate of 0.6% over the five years through 2025-26 to £658.2 million. A difficult economic environment, marked by peak inflation of 11.1% in October 2022, high interest rates and persistent cost-of-living difficulties dampened downstream businesses’ confidence. As a result, spending on web design services dropped as these businesses pursued cost-cutting measures, limiting industry revenue. CACI’s acquisition of CYBER-DUCK in November 2023 prompted increased consolidation among the largest businesses, strengthening their market positions and enabling cost efficiencies through combined resources. However, this consolidation also reduced competition, which limited opportunities for smaller firms and restrained overall industry revenue growth by focusing activity within a narrower group of dominant companies. Industry revenue was supported as businesses increasingly recognised the importance of establishing an online presence, particularly with online retail spending continuing to grow in line with long-term trends accelerated by the pandemic. Increasing internet usage continues to support the industry’s sales as downstream businesses expand their online presence. Technological advancements pose a double-edged sword for the industry. As AI capabilities improve, businesses are leveraging advancements to expand their service offerings and improve efficiency, aiding industry profit and revenue. However, the advancing capabilities of AI-based alternatives like WixADI and Bookmark are tempting some customers to pursue these as alternatives, weighing on industry revenue. Easing economic pressure is supporting renewed demand for premium custom web development products, elevating industry revenue. Profit has ticked up in the five years through 2025-26, as reducing reliance on physical infrastructure cuts maintenance bills and a stronger pound reduces the expense of purchasing foreign software essential to the industry. Industry revenue is projected to climb by 0.1% in 2025-26, with profit nudging upward to 6.7%. Revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.7% to £751.4 million over the five years through 2030-31. Emerging technologies and AI will continue to shape the future of web design services, as businesses compete to integrate the latest cutting-edge innovations to enhance their offerings and meet rising consumer expectations. This positive growth outlook is likely to drive demand for the industry's core service, high-end custom web design, as downstream businesses invest in revenue-generating activities to attract customers and capitalise on elevated consumer spending habits. Continued growth in the new businesses will continue to fuel demand for essential web services as new businesses vie to establish an online presence. However, industry revenue is potentially threatened by an increasing business dissolution rate, which could cause the industry to lose existing clients and recurring revenue streams.
