WASHINGTON, DC – Congratulations to the folks at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in partnership with the Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCO) Council for producing a top-notch web 2.0 federal government website.

FedsFeedFamilies.gov

This is what I like about FedsFeedFamilies.gov, a gov 2.0 website:

• It doesn’t look like a federal government website
• It has a great mission and sense of purpose
• The colors are both warm and cool and inviting
• Designer elements like the squiggly lines and brush strokes are cool
• The logo is creative, unique and visually telling – it can stand alone
• The navigation is intuitive and simple
• The photos are fun and uplifting
• The Calls to Action are clear and compelling
• The Donations so far widget is high-tech, visual and effective
• Great social bookmarketing (bookmarking) chicklets for:
  • Digg
  • Reddit
  • Facebook
  • Delicious
• RSS feeds of the blog are pulled to the front page under News & Events
• Great leveraging of social media
  • Beautiful integration of Google’s YouTube videos
  • Elegant integration of photos from Flickr
  • Follow us on Twitter
• Great embedded videos of President Obama & Michele Obama
• Nice use of Flash, AJAX, CSS, ASPX, etc.

Hats off to the folks behind Feds Feed Families.
