- Discoverability Standard
- Discoverability is the degree to which something can be easily found and/or navigated. Ensuring websites are discoverable can have considerable benefits, including: a better web experience for users through efficient, targeted access to information and services; increased traffic to the website from external search engines, portals and other websites; and a means to consistently describe information and services, eg., metadata.

- Domain Names and Allocation Standard
- A domain name is a unique name used to identify a resource, e.g. a website. Readable, contextual domain names reinforce the intent of the resource and provide users with a useful mnemonic for continued use. Managed domain name allocation ensures a consistent, best‐practice approach to resource naming and that users can readily identify when they are interacting with a genuine Victorian Government resource.

- Web Analytics Standard
- At a minimum, all public-facing websites must implement the tracking code for the Whole of Victorian Government (WoVG) analytics account. The WoVG analytics account uses a single supplier (currently Google Analytics) to allow Victorian Government website statistics to be tracked consistently, and to be aggregated into a portfolio view. The supplier chosen is either a free or near‐free service, or is subject to normal Government procurement. A WoVG approach to web analytics will provide consistent information to central agencies that track the government's web portfolio as a whole, as well as providing all Victorian Government website owners with comparable metrics to evaluate their usage and performance.
