Government Websites
Definition
Government websites are online platforms created and maintained by government agencies at various levels (local, state, federal) to provide official information and services to the public.
Analogy
Imagine government websites as virtual city halls. Just like how you can visit your local city hall for official documents and services related to your community, government websites serve as digital hubs where you can access important resources and interact with governmental entities.
