Govt.nz

Google

What’s working?— Language was easy to read— Plenty of white space— Responsive/reactive design

What’s not— Too many clicks to get anywhere (too many site levels)— Confusing categories— Lots of padding in the content— Unclear what was on the site (link directory or written guide)— ‘I feel like I’m going to get spammed’ (lacks authority)— ‘Plain and boring’— Unclear hierarchy and site levels

Investigating

Where can we add value?

User centered, inclusive, iterative design

Purpose

Link portal Search Directory Content Shift Consistent Govt.nz Style Across Agencies

Listening to our audience

Designing for low litearcy

— Lower literacy users make up 40% of New Zealand’s working population— They read line by line, they do not scan web pages— They have a narrow field of focus and their concentration is broken by scrolling
