Make the URLs cleaner, e.g. instead of https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php?id=3, have https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/eservices

While I am at https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php?id=3, the menu "eServices" is not highlighted

https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/ is the same page as https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php?id=1, yet in the latter, the "Home" menu is not highlighted.

I wouldn't use SSL for all pages, unless I have unlimited resources on the server side.

Interestingly, the "Contact Us" page has a nice URL, https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php/help/contact. I would get rid of the index.php all the same.

I suspect navigating to a non-existent page is throwing a fatal PHP error. This is both good and bad. Good because you have hidden PHP error messages. Bad because you do not have a custom 404 page

At https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php/help/contact, I would make the form smaller and provide other contacts, e.g. physical contacts, telephone, fax, email, postal address etc

Still at https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php/help/contact, in one of the page titles, there is a misplaced dash before the word "Contact Form"

The sign up url is interesting, https://account.ecitizen.go.ke/register?return_url=https://driving.ecitizen.go.ke/index.php/signon. I would have had https://account.ecitizen.go.ke/register and then the return URL I store in the session.

Finally, deal with the basics!
1. Minify html, css and js!
2. Tell your webserver to gzip content before sending!
3. Inline JavaScript is not such a good idea
4. Have proper meta tags!
5. Protect your directories!
