The Minnesota site allows viewers to get to the same place from several paths, which cuts down on dead-ends. Giving users the option of selecting areas by county or community name is a real benefit to those of us who relate better to city than county names. No confusion figuring out where to find information on The Magnolia State's site. The front page also offers a direct link for companies already located in Mississippi looking for assistance and new industry announcements. The buildings database includes both industrial facilities and commercial properties suitable for contact center use and can be searched by city or county.
Users can access the city and county profiles through an interactive map.
And the business incentives tax guide is one of the best, and not just because Oklahoma is known for aggressive state incentive programs. The economic and demographic data section also provides new and existing firm announcements as well as a link to regional and community profiles. The profiles are accessed through a series of state and regional maps. This is also the only site reviewed that provides the name, phone number, and e-mail address of the department's director, Wayne Sterling, on the home page. South Dakota's site is a good example of an organizational style that repeats all of the available pages as a sidebar regardless of where you are on the site, making navigation much easier.
