Beta on colchester.gov.uk

The ‘beta’ label means you are looking at the first version of a new web page or service. 

Beta web pages and services

Colchester.gov.uk regularly launches new or redesigned digital services. During the beta phase we test and improve our services. 

Redesigned web pages or services should be easier to use than the ones they replace. 

The beta label is shown on a web page to tell you that a page or service is being tested. This means it may not work for everyone. 

Sometimes a beta service will be available at the same time as an older, existing page or service – you can choose which one to use. 

Successful beta pages and services eventually become ‘live’ and replace old web pages or existing services that perform the same task.
