Summary: In recent years, e-Government portals have had a number of important changes resulting from technological advances. The rapid expansion of Internet use in government and citizen activities makes it compulsory to reflect upon the characteristics government websites should possess, as well as effective ways of evaluating them. This article presents a model for the measurement and evaluation of general applicability, initially based on an evolutionary theoretical approach which we have been developing over the past five years through its application to the case of the state portals in Mexico. We believe that the implementation of the evaluation instrument (a questionnaire with reagents for different variables) may be useful in other countries. For this reason, this article describes its theoretical bases, the empirical refinement process and our results in terms of a draft questionnaire, as well as some recommendations for its implementation. Due to the fact that websites evolve along with technology and governments, this proposal is presented as a flexible and comprehensive model that could help to locate a set of government portals into a ranking, with its methodology, limitations and scope also presented in this document.
