Our summary of what the GOV.UK product teams have been up to recently, and what to look out for next.
Things we’ve done recently
In the past few weeks, we’ve:
- successfully covered the ministerial reshuffle
- finalised our redesign of cross-site browse and navigation
- published the GDS business plan (it’s a fine-looking HTML document)
- made printing of guides more user-friendly, in response to user feedback
- prototyped a better index page for embassies, consulates and high commissions
- removed logos from the landing pages of organisations which are exempt from GOV.UK
- become able to measure how far users scroll down GOV.UK pages
- built a finder for the Air Accident Investigation Branch
- built a broken link checker into Whitehall Publisher
- started lab-based user research into how people use Whitehall Publisher
Things we’re going to do in the next couple of weeks
- release and evaluate the new version of mainstream browse
- migrate the ONS statistics release calendar over to GOV.UK
- start build work on a better index page for embassies, consulates and high commissions
- continue work on the shared parental leave guides
- Build a finder for international development funding to replace their existing detailed guide category
