Low Marks for Loudoun Economic Development Website

Loudoun County Department of Economic Development’s website ranked very poorly in a recent evaluation of the websites of all D.C. area economic development agencies and departments commissioned by the Washington Business Journal

One of comments about the Loudoun ED site is that “it does not reflect the wealth and sophistication of the county. Little Opportunity for use interaction; site navigation challenging” The site scored very low marks in most areas: Appearance, Navigation and Usability

First impression matters, this department is the face of the county to the business community, and it will be the first port of call for most t businesspeople when considering relocating or setting up their business in Loudoun. We must put our best foot forward.

I hope Larry Rosenstrauch, Director of Loudoun County Economic Development will react by addressing the challenges identified in the report.
