Why Did Yeongdeungpo-gu Homepage Visitors Surge 8.7 Times?... New Separate Page for COVID-19 Established

COVID-19 Causes 8.7x Surge in Old Website Visitors... 'Intro Page' Established as Countermeasure... Real-Time Delivery of Key Information on Homepage's First Screen... Unified COVID Information Website and Responsive Web Design for Optimized Display on Smart Devices

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) is focusing all efforts on improving convenience for residents by unifying COVID-19 information on the district website and providing fast and accurate information.

As COVID-19 intensified, the number of visitors to the district website surged, exceeding 1.31 million in March and 1.28 million in May. This is 8.7 times the average monthly visitors of 150,000 last year.

In response, the district established an ‘Intro Page’ to deliver key COVID-19 information in real time. The ‘Intro Page’ is the first webpage seen when accessing the Yeongdeungpo-gu website, providing residents with the fastest access to confirmed case information.

Above all, the page loads quickly and has the advantage of faithfully delivering information while preventing server crashes caused by a surge in users.

In fact, the district website has been operating smoothly without server downtime despite accommodating up to 8.7 times more visitors compared to last year.

The district also included more detailed COVID-19 related information in the ‘Planned Content’ section of the Yeongdeungpo-gu Office website. On one screen, users can check all information including confirmed case data, screening clinics, and support programs.

Furthermore, by unifying all COVID-19 information on the website, the district enhanced convenience for residents. This eliminates the inconvenience faced in some local governments where residents must check multiple platforms such as websites and blogs.

COVID-19 information is categorized into menus such as ▲Official Mask Sales Locations ▲COVID-19 Occurrence Status ▲Major Support Programs ▲Government Emergency Disaster Relief Funds to improve visibility.

In particular, thanks to the website being built as a ‘responsive web,’ information is optimized for any device including smartphones, tablets, and PCs, allowing convenient access anytime and anywhere.

Meanwhile, the district completely revamped its website for the first time in 11 years, launching it in December last year with features such as ▲responsive web implementation ▲one-stop online reservations ▲enhanced search functions ▲medical tourism web. The district was able to significantly increase resident satisfaction by successfully implementing a user-centered online platform.

Chae Hyun-il, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, stated, “In the COVID-19 crisis, we are fully committed to transparent and prompt information disclosure to uphold residents’ right to know,” and added, “We will continue to build a proactive website system and deliver various news.”
