New Zealand Government Web Standards

New standards released

The New Zealand Government Web Standards 2.0 were released in March 2009 and replace the previous version, the New Zealand Government Web Standards 1.0.  See Meeting the standards for more information.

Moving to the new standards

In order to ease transition to the new standards, version 1.0 may still be used in web development until 31 October 2009. However, it is highly recommended that websites are built or redeveloped to the new standards as soon as possible. See Meeting the standards for change-over information.
