Gov.uk (rendered on the site as GOV.UK) is a United Kingdom public sector information website, created by the Government Digital Service to provide a single point of access to HM Government services. The site launched as a beta on 31 January 2012, following on from the Alphagov project. It officially replaced Directgov and the online services of Business Link on 17 October 2012. As of their 400-day target, March 2015, 20 of the promised 25 exemplar services, from 8 departments, were functioning, many of those on extremely limited basis.
