Is Scotland`s National Entitlement Card website working?

I have been trying for nearly a week now to access the NEC site so I can apply for my over 60s bus pass. I cannot get signed in. Whenever I try to, I either get a blank page or the "Sign in" button. This happened on both my Chromebook and Iphone. I contacted NEC on Twitter (the only contact I could find) only to be tol by them to contact the website owner for guidance!
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Thank you

     When I go through this site it tells me to consult  my local council website.

    When I had to change my address, so a new card, it was done on the council website or local library.
  • It does depend where you are as to how you apply.  In Glasgow you apply through the SPT website, or get a form from the Post Office.  

    Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid

    Thanks for input above. I am aware of that having applied for my last card at the local council office. Where I live, the only 2 options were via the NEC website or the local council office.
    My problem was with the website which has miraculously resolved itself this morning, a few hours after I contacted the helpdesk. All good and card now applied for online.
