    I suppose it's progress.

    Oh, this is awful, it lack any kind of personality or character... I couldn't even be bothered to look further than 2 pages into the site.

    If this is what British monarchy means, somebody really hasn't done their homework - or have they?

    SEO absent

    The Telegraph (yes, really) has published an SEO audit of the site here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/4601422/The-Royal-Website-The-Queens-new-website-SEO-review.html

    weak

    its got all the charisma and style of a google ad bar.

    In fact its worse than that, it actually feels like one of the holding pages you get from companies who resell domain names.

    When you compare it to http://www.whitehouse.gov/ (which is probably the nearest equivalent in America) you see how much od a missed opportunity this site represents.

    And is the typeface at the top Rotis? What is that all about? A german typeface? it that some sort of ironic gesture?

    Very worrying.
