A fellow Brit here, and I share your pride.
They do excellent work. Which is not something I find myself saying very often about a government related organisation!
It’s actually quite remarkable how good some of the UI is on many of our government websites. A lot of thought clearly goes into this design system. And it’s applied relatively consistency across all sorts of online properties too.
- denton-scratch 5y agoThere's a pattern in UK govt. websites that pisses me off: multi-page forms with one page per field. What is your biological sex? Male [] Female [] Other [] [Continue]
- UglyToad 5y agoThis is a deliberate choice by the designers and we had some to and fro with them about it for the application we were building (a complex 40+ question process for exports). They seemed open to more questions per page where needed but their single page per question standard makes sense when you understand the need to support the whole audience for a lot of their sites. Stats suggest over 16% of adults in the UK have very poor literacy so in the interests of accessibility I think the page per question is a reasonable pattern.
